About the Job you are considering:

This role is accountable for shaping and enabling the technical development and run-time operation of products and services within the global Cash Equities platform, working with multiple product owners and development teams globally.

Hybrid working:

The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your Role:

• Lead front-to-back analysis of trading workflows and systems (order capture, routing, execution, allocations, confirmations, post-trade feeds) to support build and migration to the strategic platform.
• Shape future-state platform design by translating EMEA market structure and regulatory constraints into clear functional and non-functional requirements (latency, resiliency, auditability, controls).
• Partner with Product Owners to deconstruct outcomes into deliverable features, ensuring coherent solution definition across product areas and regions.
• Ensure service resilience and recovery objectives are met for delivered solutions (including operational readiness, monitoring and supportability).
• Be accountable for ensuring new products/services align with mandatory and regulatory requirements, embedding controls and evidencing compliance-by-design.
• Operate effectively in a global virtual team of specialists, collaborating across all cash equities product areas and time zones.

Your Skills

• In depth Front-to-Back Cash Equities knowledge – specifically STP trading, order management, market access, regulatory reporting, and middle/back office integration feeds.
• Excellent analytical skills, structured problem-solving, and strong task management; able to lead complex investigations and drive clarity in ambiguous environments.
• Strong understanding of European Cash Equities market structure (venues, routing patterns, liquidity/access models) and how this shapes platform capabilities.
• Deep knowledge of the European regulatory landscape (e.g. MiFID II, Market Abuse (MAR), Short Selling).
• Proven ability to influence and build trusted relationships across Trading, Regulatory Compliance, Operations and Technology at multiple seniority levels.
• Experience delivering change in a global, virtual, multi-POD environment; comfortable coordinating across regions and product areas.
• Exposure to the full SDLC and appreciation of front office architecture and design trade-offs (performance, resiliency, observability, controls).
• Strong business analysis capability with experience in eliciting and documenting requirements (functional and non-functional), mapping end-to-end processes and data flows, defining clear acceptance criteria, and maintaining traceability from business outcomes through to delivery and testing.
• Technical fluency to engage engineers effectively (e.g., Java awareness and SQL know-how to support technical walkthroughs, data analysis and troubleshooting).
