You’ll lead and develop a high-performing Trade Control team, while driving simplification and transformation initiatives across Middle Office processes. This includes strengthening end‑to‑end controls, supporting regulatory remediation activity, and redesigning elements of the operating model - including offshore delivery - to improve efficiency, resilience and risk management.
You’ll be a recognised source of expertise in complex markets products, trade lifecycle events and operational flows, providing technical advice to senior leaders across Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB), Group Corporate Treasury and the wider Group.

3. Monitor and improve control and service performance through operational metrics, effective issue management, clear decision‑making and prioritisation in a fast‑moving Markets environment
4. Lead, develop and coach a high‑performing Trade Control team, setting clear objectives and driving consistent delivery
5. Partner closely with Front Office, Risk, Finance and Technology to resolve issues, improve data quality and support reliable downstream processing
6. Drive simplification, transformation and operating model change across Middle Office processes, including offshore delivery and remediation activity
What We’re Looking For
Essential experience and skills:
7. Extensive experience (10+ years) in Trade Control, Middle Office or Markets Operations, supporting complex financial markets products across the full trade lifecycle
8. Significant experience (5+ years) leading teams within a Markets or Investment Banking environment, including performance management and colleague development
9. Strong working knowledge (8+ years) of financial instruments, trade booking models, lifecycle events and associated operational and risk controls
10. Experience (5+ years) working with markets trade booking and risk management systems, with a strong focus on data quality and control integrity
11. Solid understanding of risk frameworks, regulatory expectations and control environments within a large, regulated financial institution
12. Strong relationship‑building skills, with the confidence to engage, influence and challenge senior leaders across Markets and Treasury
And any experience of these would be great:
13. Experience supporting or leading trade control remediation or regulatory programmes
14. Exposure to operating model change, including offshoring or process re-engineering
15. Knowledge of CIB and Group Corporate Treasury products, processes and business drivers
