You’ll also make sure positions, cash and P&L reconcile every day. Acting as the link between trading, clients, settlements and technology, you’ll help shape how the UK function runs. You’ll work with engineering to automate processes as the business scales.

To be successful in this role you will bring:

• A background at a bank, broker-dealer or prime broker
• Strong knowledge of the swap lifecycle, including financing, margin and collateral
• A good understanding of ISDA documentation, confirmations and trade reporting such as EMIR
• Confidence working with traders, clients and technical teams
• Experience with prime brokerage, synthetic prime or automation projects (desirable)
• A degree in Finance, Economics or related field

This is an exciting opportunity to join a business on the up and build out a function in the UK from day one.
