We are ambitious.

We believe in high autonomy, and we want people who are looking to do things differently in order to create better experiences for our customers.  

We work in cross-functional teams and are laser focused on increasing the number of active clients we serve to drive sustainable growth. 

Your role 

As Trading & Operations Platform Transformation Lead, your role is to provide technical guidance across multiple transformational workstreams & to ensure changes are delivered at pace and follow best practices. 

You will work closely with delivery teams, technology teams, architecture, data & AI and divisional product teams to ensure technology is built in the right way and that everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet. 

You will be expected to support & mentor colleagues across the transformational teams who are hungry to learn but may be lacking technical expertise. 

The key KPIs that the Transformation teams are responsible for include Deflection (AI-handled client queries), Friction, STP (Straight-through-processing) & payments automation metrics.

  • A solid foundation in architectural principals, data & technology platforms, data engineering and cloud computing 

  • A good understanding of ‘FinTech’ & what it means to innovate in a heavily regulated environment 

  • The ability to balance strategy & pragmatism, and to get scrappy when needed. You can context switch and juggle multiple workstreams with ease 

  • Excellent communication & leadership skills 

  • A hunger to innovate & a natural self-starter
