Job Description:

We’re hiring a proactive and detail-oriented Customer Support Analyst to join the eOperations team of a global financial services business. Based in London, this role supports mission-critical trading applications and services across EMEA, APAC, and the US. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving complex technical issues, and have experience in financial markets — we want to hear from you.

The Opportunity

You’ll be part of a global team overseeing the full trade lifecycle — from order entry through to clearing and settlement. Working closely with brokers, traders, product teams, and developers, you’ll play a key role in maintaining service excellence and operational resilience.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Diagnose and resolve 1st-line support issues; escalate as needed while maintaining clear documentation.
• Communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders, managing expectations throughout.
• Take ownership of your workload and contribute to team task distribution.
• Develop expertise in proprietary trading platforms, supporting issue replication and UAT testing.
• Troubleshoot FIX API connections and monitor trade flows and market data workflows.
• Support daily health checks and participate in platform testing and process improvement initiatives.
• Contribute to team documentation and knowledge sharing resources.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years in a trading support or financial services environment (e.g. brokerage, exchange, investment bank).
• Familiarity with FX and Rates products (e.g. NDFs, Swaps, FXO, IRS, Gilts, EGBs).
• Experience with FIX protocol, Unix/Linux, and end-to-end trade lifecycle.
• Strong communication skills – able to bridge the gap between business and technology.
• Comfortable multitasking and prioritizing in a high-pressure environment.
• Knowledge of SQL, JIRA, and scripting is a plus.
• Exposure to third-party tools like MarkitWire, ICElink, Refinitiv, or ION is highly desirable.

Nice to Have

• Experience with application deployments or basic network troubleshooting.
• Interest in improving operational processes and driving support innovation.
• A collaborative mindset and eagerness to grow technical and product knowledge.

Why Join?

• Be part of a global support team at the core of trading operations.
• Collaborate with leading professionals across trading, operations, and technology.
• Work in a hybrid model from our central London office, with opportunities for growth and impact.
