About the Role

We're the world's leading provider of secure financial messaging services, headquartered in Belgium. We are the way the world moves value - across borders, through cities and overseas. No other organisation can address the scale, precision, pace and trust that this demands, and we're proud to support the global economy.

We're unique too. We were established to find a better way for the global financial community to move value - a reliable, safe and secure approach that the community can trust, completely. We're always striving to be better and are constantly evolving in an ever-changing landscape, without undermining that trust. Five decades on, our vibrant community reflects the complexity and diversity of the financial ecosystem. We innovate diligently, test exhaustively, then implement fast. In a connected and exciting era, our mission has never been more relevant. Swift now has a presence in 200+ countries and legal territories to serve a community of more than 12,000 banks and financial institutions.

We are currently seeking a curious, innovative, self-starter, analytical, and forward-thinking individual to join our Global Market & Business Intelligence team as a Payments Market Intelligence Lead.

You will have the opportunity to work with a team of payments strategists, collaborating across multiple business functions to bring market insights and further define our strategy.

At Swift, we enable the global financial community to perform payments on a grand scale, offering a resilient and scalable platform with over 11,000 customers, including financial institutions and corporates of all types. Our mission is to provide instant and frictionless payments through our multi-asset platform. Joining our Global Market & Business Intelligence team, you will play an exciting role in monitoring the market landscape, benchmarking players in the financial ecosystem, and identifying new business opportunities in an evolving environment.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead the monitoring of market trends, including a comprehensive understanding of the payments market competitive landscape.
  • Conduct market benchmarks to define Swift's position within the industry.
  • Identify new business opportunities for Swift and its financial community.
  • Stay up-to-date on market trends shaping the present and future of the payments landscape.
  • Analyze technological, geopolitical, behavioral, and regulatory trends affecting retail and wholesale payments and global trade.
  • Stay updated and ahead on specific technological trends that impact payments, such as AI, DLT/blockchain, embedded finance, and open finance.
  • Facilitate meetings with internal team members to communicate valuable insights and facilitate informed decision-making processes.
  • Analyze data from internal and external sources to evaluate strategic options and prepare Swift's response to opportunities.
  • Prepare reports and presentations to share research outcomes, proposals, and recommendations with commercial teams, market and product managers, and senior management.
  • Coordinate relationships with external partners and organizations, including research and consulting firms.

    Requirements:
    • 5-10 years of experience, including meaningful experience in a research or consulting firm.
    • Professional experience in Payments, Fintech, Banking, or Financial Services is highly valued.
    • Exceptional researching abilities and a strong enthusiasm for promoting evidence-based decision making.
    • Excellent oral and written communication skills, including the ability to write compelling and concise Word documents and PowerPoint presentations.
    • Ability to influence decision-makers within the organization.
