Join the Futures & Derivatives Clearing (FDC) and Equities Operations Program Execution Team, a vital component of the Markets Ops Transformation organization. This hybrid Business Analyst / Project Manager role is critical to driving strategic transformation and delivering Target Operating Models for FDC and Equities Operations within a dynamic, fast‑paced environment.

The Markets Process Engineering team is chartered with designing and delivering a multi‑year transformation roadmap for Operations and broader bank stakeholders.

The Futures and OTC Clearing franchise provides trading and clearing capabilities across 40+ exchanges for both clients and proprietary lines of business such as Equities, Rates, Commodities, FX, and Prime D1. This business is undergoing a strategic re‑engineering of its platforms—a multi‑year initiative focused on real‑time computation and ambitious goals to establish a more robust, strategic, and well‑controlled end‑state for Futures and OTC Clearing Operations.

We are seeking a dedicated Project/Business Analyst to lead the delivery of these strategic initiatives. This is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to a major Tier 1 program within a growing, global, and dynamic change management team. The role involves close collaboration with the Futures and OTC Clearing business, global operations teams, technology, and downstream functions like finance and regulatory reporting.
