Electronic Trading Business Analyst PM - Fixed Income Rates - Investment Bank

Business Analyst is responsible for managing the delivery of key functionalities of our electronic trading applications.

Essentially we are looking for:

• At least one substantial prior experience (3y+) as a business analyst/project manager in a large organisation
• Strong knowledge of Fixed Income instruments, and associated trading workflows: Government Bonds, Interest Swaps, Repos, Futures and options
• Extensive understanding of electronic trading venues, APIs and associated dataflows: market, static and trade data.
• Experience of working with the ION Trading platform, highly desirable
• Significant prior professional experience in support, business analysis, project and/or product management, either at a financial institution or a software house
• Excellent communication skills in English, spoken and written (other languages advantageous)
• Innovative mentality
• Active interest in design of system architecture
• Excellent problem solving skills
• Any prior experience with Scripting, debugging or software development is a welcome plus.

Role

In-scope instruments are all electronically-traded government, inflation and more structured bonds, swaps, futures and repos in all currencies worldwide, with a specific focus on EUR and USD.

Electronic venues include exchanges (eg Eurex, CME), dealer-to-dealer markets (eg MTS, BrokerTec, MOT, iSwap, TradX, GLMX) and dealer-to-customer markets (eg Bloomberg, Tradeweb, BondVision). Additionally, the platform handles all trading workflows associated with customer voice enquiries, interpreted and priced via in-house analytical libraries developed in partner teams.

The platform itself is an ecosystem of distinct, loosely coupled applications covering a wide range of functionality from pricing, quotation, auto-negotiation and execution to market aggregation, smart order routing and auto-hedging. Various trading workflows are supported, including vendor UIs and chat bots.

In Production, the application suite is deployed onto x3 distinct global datacentres (Tokyo, London, New-York) and operates under both high availability and Real Time, low latency constraints, reacting to potentially spiky market conditions. On dealer-to-dealer markets, the Bank is under obligation, meaning officially ranked as a factor of the permanence, tightness and tradability of its bid/offer contribution.

For market connectivity and abstraction, the platform relies on both ION Trading software and internally-developed adaptors.
