Founded in 2010, we have grown from a united vision shared between two people to a team of over 140 across London, Toronto, New York and Singapore. We have achieved scale by building the best-in-class surveillance tooling, where our analytics bring the front office risk mindset to the compliance function.

Though we have developed in the trade surveillance arena, we have always been more than that. At heart, we are a finance-focused big data firm. Our goal is to continue creating the world’s leading financial markets analytics platform.

• Research and write requirements for new product features
• Assess existing product features and recommend improvements
• Investigate data issues in customer or market data feeds
• Prepare examples and material to support relationship managers in upcoming pitches and customer meetings
• Support model validation exercises undertaken by our customers to approve TradingHub products
• Design and test new user interface components
• Engage with customers to collect product feedback
• Prototype custom surveillance controls using TradingHub’s proprietary scripting language according to customer requirements

Requirements

• Previous experience as a Business Analyst working with an IT or quantitative team
• Solid understanding of at least one asset class e.g. fixed income, commodities etc.
• Understanding of different derivative trade types and their associated market risks
• Experience preparing and presenting material to senior stakeholders, with the ability to communicate complex ideas in clear and succinct terms
• Understanding of mathematical techniques used in financial markets modelling
• Intermediate skills in a programming/scripting language such as SQL Python, C# etc.

By combining the best of both tech and finance, we’re able to solve complex problems together and deliver meaningful results to our customers. Everybody has value to bring, and we welcome individuality as a key driving force behind our collective success.
