Job Overview

This is a role that will offer you the opportunity to build and develop an in-depth knowledge within Legal and drive your career forward. The successful candidate will be expected to be a subject matter expert for the Rates cash and derivatives businesses, monitoring complex issues that arise and escalating where necessary to work with Legal seniors to drive solutions and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

The role is dedicated to the Rates and Markets Treasury businesses globally with focus in the UK, Europe, Middle East and Africa country clusters, covering all desks within the Rates and Markets Treasury businesses but with a focus on local markets - including all of cash, derivatives and structured products - as well as primary dealership / cash trading and other bespoke solutions from time to time with respect to the Rates businesses.

This is a role requiring a broad range of legal skills, ranging from an understanding of finance-linked hedging to the ability to structure complex, bespoke trades, both in an interest-bearing and Sharia-compliant context, to being able to work on financing products in both derivative and cash format. It will also require a working knowledge of ISDA definitional booklets, particularly the Rates and Credit Definitions, and the ability to work with both the desks and seniors within Legal on the strategic aspects of supporting the relevant businesses.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a Qualified Lawyer with suitable post-qualification experience, ideally with experience of working in-house. A strong and broad understanding of financial products and how they work and interact (e.g., loans, bonds, trade financing, derivatives, SFTs) is essential. Derivatives experience within any product group is essential, with knowledge of the 2006 / 2021 ISDA Definitions and 2003 / 2014 ISDA Credit Definitions strongly preferred; A working knowledge of ISDA definitional booklets, particularly the Rates and Credit Definitions is also required. Experience of structuring and/or managing complex transactions is strongly preferred. Excellent organisation skills, good written and oral communication skills, and the ability to present complex issues simply to senior management are also essential. Intellectual curiosity to learn about new products and new legal structures, interest in technology, and good diplomatic skills and ability to interact with personnel with different working cultures / levels / backgrounds are also required.

What We Can Offer

This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer experienced in, and keen to expand their knowledge of, a wide variety of products across both derivatives and cash. The successful candidate could either come from any of a general financing, SFT, or derivative background, but must be able and willing to cover all relevant areas. Ultimately they will be expected to demonstrate and be willing to develop their experience and understanding of complex financing structures (including derivatives and note issuance), other complex structures such as Islamic financing, and derivatives products used by the Rates business across both the linear and non-linear derivatives spectrum.

This is a role that will offer you the opportunity to build and develop an in-depth knowledge within Legal and drive your career forward. The successful candidate will be expected to be a subject matter expert for the Rates cash and derivatives businesses, monitoring complex issues that arise and escalating where necessary to work with Legal seniors to drive solutions and efficiency.
