Trade Booking Controls

Overview

This role is at the heart of safeguarding trading integrity — ensuring every booking is made in the right place, for the right reasons, and in alignment with business and regulatory expectations. Booking Controls play a critical role in upholding front office accountability, maintaining legal entity integrity, and preventing material booking errors across global markets.

We’re looking for a sharp, analytical professional to join a high-impact remediation initiative. You’ll work across front office, technology, and risk teams to assess and redesign control frameworks, closing gaps and shaping the future-state model for robust trade booking governance.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Conduct deep-dive analysis into current Booking Controls across external trading venues to pinpoint gaps and areas of vulnerability.
• Collaborate closely with trading desks, product teams, and technology partners to co-create practical and sustainable control solutions.
• Translate regulatory and strategic priorities into clearly defined business requirements for control enhancements.
• Engage risk and compliance stakeholders to ensure visibility of control gaps, and alignment on remediation plans and milestones.
• Drive stakeholder engagement through clear communication — leading working groups, delivering walkthroughs, and developing guidance materials to support control adoption.
• Partner with internal audit and control teams to investigate incidents and develop proactive control improvement initiatives.
• Support project governance by tracking milestones, producing status updates, and providing timely insights to senior management.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong domain experience in markets control functions, business management, technology (BA), or change delivery within a trading environment.
• Solid understanding of end-to-end trade flows and order management systems.
• A track record of successfully leading control remediation or transformation workstreams involving cross-functional stakeholders.
• Deep knowledge of traded financial products and the operational risks they present.
• Confidence in navigating global teams and business lines, with the interpersonal skills to build trust and influence outcomes.
• Clear, confident communication skills, including the ability to simplify complex topics for senior stakeholders.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Experience managing project timelines, risk logs, and executive reporting.
