Key Responsibilities:

Delivery & Solutioning

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

• Primary contact for external clients and internal stakeholders.
• Lead working sessions to define requirements and align on solutions.
• Communicate changes clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

• Investigate trade, valuation, PnL, and data issues across Calypso and upstream/downstream systems.
• Drive root cause analysis and permanent fixes.

Prioritisation & Ownership

• Balance project work, enhancements, and production issues across competing client, internal, and BAU demands.
• Provide clear visibility on status, risks, and dependencies.

Process & Documentation

• Identify and improve workflow gaps across trade lifecycle, valuations, settlements, and PnL.

Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, or a related field; CFA charter (or progress toward) is beneficial.
• 4+ years of experience in middle office, operations, or trade support within a financial institution.
• Hands-on Calypso experience strongly preferred; similar systems (Murex, Summit, Sophis, Aladdin) also considered.
• Strong understanding of middle office workflows and trade lifecycle (bookings, lifecycle events, settlements, reconciliations, risk, PnL).
• Solid knowledge of Fixed Income and Credit Derivatives (Corporate Bonds, CDS, CDX).
• Proven hybrid BA / delivery / production support experience; comfortable in client-facing environments under time pressure.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
