About us
We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone. Including you!
About this opportunity
The Trade Execution Lab has recently been born off the back of the LBG undertaking one of the largest financial services transformations changing the way we work to ensure we remain relevant to our customers today and tomorrow. It’s a pivotal moment, and we want to be at the forefront as our industry becomes more tech enabled.
The lab itself is centred around supporting 3 products that underpin the Markets platform; Trade Management & Control, Cash & Collateral Management and Trade Settlements.
Some of the key fundamentals underpinning the lab are; Products not Projects, more Platform Autonomy, Consistently Sized & Organised Teams, Bringing Business and Tech closer together.
We’ve created labs and we’re building multi-functional, co-located teams giving them freedom to bring technology to the forefront of our business. People sit at the heart of what we do, and this role is no exception – as cliched as it is, we need a true people person to join us and help lead the way with the future transformation of our Murex centred FX & Commodities teams under the Trade Management & Control product.
