• Identify and address structural or behavioral factors that inhibit optimal trading activity.
• Contribute to strategic initiatives aimed at expanding liquidity participation and deepening market engagement.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work closely with Sales, Product and Technology teams to support platform enhancements and data initiatives.
• Engage with liquidity providers to review performance, communicate optimization actions, and align on trading behavior, while remaining non‑commercial in nature.
• Escalate risks, issues, or blockers impacting liquidity performance to Liquidity Management leadership.

Governance & Controls

• Operate within established governance, conduct, and market surveillance frameworks.
• Ensure liquidity management activities are compliant with internal policies and regulatory obligations.
• Support audits, reviews, and regulatory inquiries as required.

Success Measures

• Improvement in execution quality and market performance metrics.
• Growth in traded volumes and liquidity engagement.
• Effective identification and resolution of liquidity performance issues.
• Strong collaboration with internal stakeholders and liquidity providers.

Out of Scope Activities

What we value

• Strong experience in FX markets, electronic trading, market structure, or liquidity provision.

• Experience working with FX trading platforms, ECNs, EMSs, or liquidity aggregation technologies.

Technical & Analytical Skills

• Strong quantitative and analytical capability with the ability to interpret complex execution data.
• Comfortable working with trading metrics, performance dashboards, and large data sets.
• Understanding of FX market participants, including banks, non‑bank market makers, and buy‑side trading behaviours.

Professional Skills

• Highly data‑driven with strong problem‑solving and critical‑thinking skills.
