A leading globally known Investment Management Firm is looking for a Trade Support Specialist to join their team. The role is focused on Interest Rate Derivatives in the Middle Office (MO), and will play a crucial role in supporting Portfolio Managers, internal execution teams, and other departments to ensure timely and accurate capture and affirmation of all trades.

  • Broader T0 tasks: Provide timely service and support to other product lines and areas involved in affirming trades on T0 (e.g., FX, Futures, Equity).
  • T+1 support: Provide support on T+1 to remediate any issues from the previous day, communicating with impacted parties promptly.
  • Escalation: Report failures in the process or potential issues that could create a loss for the firm to line managers, Operational Risk, and the wider management team.
  • Improvements and management of initiatives: Identify and address process weaknesses, obtain stakeholder buy-in and engagement, develop business cases, plan and deliver projects, and escalate risks and issues.
  • Control focus: Proactively identify, assess, and document risks, propose process and control improvements, and keep the Operational Risk department informed.

Ideal Skills:

  • Experience with interest rate derivatives in a bank or buy-side institution is preferred.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and prioritise multiple tasks.
  • Strong market understanding and familiarity with industry and regulatory changes.
  • Ability to work autonomously and collaboratively, managing project deliveries alongside business-as-usual requirements.
  • Strong interpersonal skills for daily interaction with senior stakeholders in the Front Office.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard systems such as MarkitWire, Markit Trade Manager, Bloomberg, and Murex is beneficial.
