About the role

  • Define functional specifications for the complete trade lifecycle within a front‑to‑risk application, from pre‑trade checks through booking, lifecycle events, and termination.
  • Own user‑centric requirements in JIRA for trade capture, booking models, lifecycle states, approvals, validations, and workflow orchestration.
  • Specify interactions with upstream systems such as execution venues, trading platforms, and clearing houses (e.g. trade enrichment, confirmations, clearing state).
  • Define workflows governing downstream integrations with payment systems, settlement platforms, and back‑office systems.
  • Own functional behavior for trade‑level settled cash flows, including generation, amendments, netting, settlement status, and lifecycle tracking.
  • Define booking hierarchies and core trade attributes (legal entity, desk, book) and ensure correctness for downstream risk, PnL, and operations.
  • Collaborate with UX/Design to define intuitive screens for trade capture, lifecycle tracking, workflow actions, and operational views.
  • Ensure workflows enforce appropriate controls, roles, permissions, and approval chains.
  • Define functional test cases and support reviews and UAT with trading, operations, and risk users.
  • Act as the primary functional contact for developers on Trade Management & Workflow topics.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience with trade management or front‑to‑back trading systems.
  • Strong understanding of the full derivative trade lifecycle, including clearing, settlement, and cash‑flow processing.
  • Good working knowledge of risk management fundamentals (PnL, sensitivities, VaR, exposure) and their dependency on accurate trade and lifecycle data.
  • Experience specifying workflows involving upstream venues or clearing platforms and downstream payment and back‑office systems.
  • Proven ability to write clear, structured, user‑centric requirements in JIRA.
  • Exposure to multiple asset classes and their lifecycle specificities.
  • Strong communicator, comfortable working across product, engineering, trading, operations, and risk teams.
Benefits
  • This is a hybrid or remote role, open to the USA and Canada with a preference for those who live in the New York City area.
  • The successful candidate must agree to work in Eastern Time Zone hours.
