Job description

Kirey España is looking for a Technical Consultant with hands-on Murex experience, specialised in the MxML messaging framework and in the Murex Back Office module.

The consultant will design, build, support and optimise the message flows that move data between Murex and the bank's front-, middle- and back-office systems, and will configure and maintain the Back Office processes that underpin confirmations, settlements, accounting and operational control.

The role combines deep technical delivery with clear communication: the consultant must be able to explain message structures, operational processes and integration issues to non-technical audiences in both Spanish and English, and to document their work to a standard that survives handover.

Technical

• Murex experience: Minimum 3 years of hands-on Murex MX.3 experience, with at least 2 projects involving MxML message design and integration.
• MxML: Solid working knowledge of MxML structure, message generation and parsing, and the event or workflow mechanisms that trigger them.
• Back Office: Hands-on configuration experience in the Murex Back Office module, covering at least one of confirmations, settlements or accounting-related processing for a core asset class (e.g., rates, FX, equities, credit or commodities).
• Operations: Experience supporting production message flows, including monitoring, incident handling and reprocessing.
• Data: Strong SQL skills and familiarity with relational databases (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server or PostgreSQL), including data investigation and reconciliation queries.
• Tooling: Experience with Unix/Linux command line and job scheduling or orchestration tools used in financial institutions.
• Governance: Experience working within controlled change processes (ITSM, change and release management, incident and problem management).

Professional

• Languages: Professional-level fluency in both Spanish and English, written and spoken. Able to run meetings, present to senior stakeholders and write formal documentation in both languages.
• Communication: Clear, structured communication: able to translate between business and technical language, summarise complex issues concisely and escalat(e?) risks early.
• Sector experience: Demonstrated prior project experience in a tier-1 or large financial institution, ideally in a banking or capital markets context.
• Autonomy: Ability to work independently, manage priorities across parallel workstreams and take ownership of deliverables end to end.

MxML and integration

• Design, develop and maintain MxML message structures, mappings and transformations between Murex and external or internal systems.
• Build, test and support inbound and outbound message flows, ensuring completeness, sequencing, acknowledgement handling and error recovery.
• Investigate and resolve message rejections, failed flows and data discrepancies, with root-cause analysis and documented fixes.

Back Office

• Configure and maintain Back Office processes, including confirmations, settlements, payments and position or accounting-related flows, in line with the bank's operating model.
• Support end-of-day and intraday operational cycles, monitoring batch processing and reconciliations between Back Office and downstream systems.
• Analyse operational breaks and work with Operations teams to define, test and implement corrective controls.

Delivery and governance

• Participate in requirements gathering, impact analysis, solution design and effort estimation with business analysts, architects and product owners.
• Contribute to release management, testing (unit, integration, UAT support), deployment and post-implementation review.
• Produce clear technical and functional documentation: message specifications, configuration records, runbooks and knowledge transfer material.
• Mentor junior team members and share good practice across the Murex and operations community within the project.

Working model:

Hybrid (1-2 days per week on-site at the client's office in Madrid)

Working hours:

Monday to Thursday from 08:00/09:00 to 17:00/18:00, and Fridays and during the summer from 08:00 to 15:00
