  • Support a fast-paced, volatility-and-derivatives-focused environment, balancing rigorous controls with the agility required to support active trading strategies.
  • Drive scalable processes that accommodate high-volume, complex derivative flows.
  • Drive operational transformation, identifying opportunities to eliminate manual processes and implement automation and AI-enabled solutions.
  • Partner closely with Sales, Trading, Structuring, Origination, Legal, and other Operations functions to support business growth.
  • Develop talent, building a high-performing, future-ready team and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Qualifications & Experience

  • 10+ years of experience in post-trade Operations, Middle Office, Trade Support, or a related function within a sell-side or buy-side institution.
  • Deep subject-matter expertise in equity derivatives (flow and exotic) and structured/securitized products, including trade lifecycle, valuation, and lifecycle event management.
  • Strong understanding of P&L, reconciliation, and trade booking across front-to-back systems.
  • Proven leadership of operational teams with a track record of delivering transformation at scale.
  • Strong product knowledge enabling credible engagement with Sales, Trading, Structuring, Origination, and Legal.
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and influencing skills.

Preferred / Strong Plus:

  • Ability to code (e.g., Python, SQL) and hands-on experience leveraging AI tools to drive process automation and analytics.
  • Exposure to market risk concepts (Greeks, sensitivities, VaR) and valuation methodologies for complex derivatives.
