Market Services is reimagining the post-trade lifecycle, replacing fragmented, manual processes with a digital-first platform built around structured lifecycle events, deterministic controls and AI-native workflows.

You will bring your insights and expertise to the task at hand and feel supported as you make your own kind of impact for a better future. What role will you play? Press space or enter keys to toggle section visibility You'll take ownership of the Trade Lifecycle Operational Flow, helping fundamentally rethink how post-trade processing works rather than simply improving existing processes. Working across engineering, operations, data and product teams, you'll translate this vision into a scalable platform capable of supporting growing transaction volumes without corresponding increases in operational complexity. Design structured lifecycle events that enable deterministic downstream controls and reduce reactive processing. Define the canonical operational schema that standardises how trades move through the lifecycle. Drive the engineering backlog from MVP through production and delivery at scale. Partner with Trade Capture teams to improve upstream data quality and eliminate downstream manual adjustments at source. Work closely with Trade Lifecycle and Digital Channels squads to deliver cohesive end-to-end outcomes. Embed AI throughout the lifecycle, including automated exception resolution, intelligent routing and predictive controls. Challenge manual touchpoints by determining where processes can be automated, converted into deterministic rules or eliminated entirely. Design solutions where AI agents operate as integrated participants in post-trade processes and support activities such as coding, testing, data pipelines and operational execution. Lead hybrid delivery teams where engineers and AI agents collaborate to design, build, test and ship solutions. Build with a platform mindset, creating internal solutions with the potential to scale beyond a single business or use case.
