Trading Services - Associate

You are a strategic thinker passionate about driving solutions in trading services. You have found the right team.

As an Associate in Trading Services, you will provide end-to-end Trade Support coverage for T/CIO, with primary accountability for same-day (T0) / Overnight / Tomorrow-Next trade processing and rapid issue resolution to prevent settlement fails, particularly given high notional ticket sizes and tight market cut-offs.

Job Responsibilities:

• Monitor exceptions across Front Office, Back Office, risk, and processing systems to ensure trades are actionable, processed correctly, and settle on time, escalating promptly where required.

• Deliver real-time troubleshooting and trade execution support by actively monitoring Front Office/Technology/stakeholder channels and taking immediate action to resolve issues, reflecting the T0/overnight nature of trading.

• Monitor Risk Management Systems to ensure all trades are captured in Risk by End of Day (EOD) and investigate and report any capture gaps.

• Produce the T+1 blotter, perform trade check-out, and manage trade lifecycle events (amends/cancels, resets/rolls where applicable) to ensure accurate downstream processing.

• Review reconciliation outputs and partner with relevant teams to resolve aged and high-risk breaks, driving ownership through to closure.

• Maintain reference data by setting up and updating books and counterparties to support accurate booking, confirmations, and settlement processing.

• Perform BAU regulatory controls aligned to requirements (e.g., CFTC, EMIR, MiFID, SFTR), ensuring checks are completed and exceptions are addressed or escalated within timelines. Produce and maintain daily/weekly/monthly MIS and KPI reporting to provide visibility into exceptions, risks, volumes, and aged items.

• Act as a Trade Support SME for change initiatives by providing requirements/input, participating in UAT, and supporting implementation to ensure a smooth transition into BAU.

• Collaborate with Projects/PMO teams to support timely milestone delivery and operational readiness.

• Partner with Portfolio Managers (Front Office), Business Management, Reference Data, Back Office, Technology, and PMO on BAU and ad hoc requests to ensure clear ownership and fast turnaround.

• Develop and maintain SOPs covering end-to-end processes, controls, and escalation paths. Participate in cross-functional training to ensure adequate desk coverage, resilience, and consistent execution across shifts.
