Location:

What it's about

 

Join a high-performing FX Operations team that sits at the heart of the trading lifecycle—where accuracy, pace, and smart problem-solving keep markets moving. In this 12month contract role, you’ll gain deep exposure to end-to-end FX trade support, work closely with global counterparties and internal stakeholders, and sharpen your operational controls mindset in a fast-paced, professional environment.

If you enjoy investigating breaks, improving processes, and being the person who “makes it work” when timelines are tight—this is a great opportunity to build highly transferable skills in markets operations.

 

What you’ll be doing (day to day)

  • Reconcile FX trades against counterparty confirmations, investigate exceptions (“breaks”), and drive timely resolution; escalate when needed.
  • Agree daily netted settlements for FX Spot and weekly forward rollovers (FX Forwards), ensuring settlement instructions are accurate and complete.
  • Closely monitor FX settlements during rollover periods, proactively engaging banks/counterparties to resolve issues quickly.
  • Perform FX settlement reconciliation and manage settlement breaks end-to-end.
  • Partner with internal teams (Trading, Treasury/Cash, Risk, Operations colleagues) to ensure smooth pre- and post-trade workflows.

Identify recurring issues and suggest process/control improvements to reduce breaks and improve turnaround times.

 

What we expect

 

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional qualification.
  • Amenable to work under an agency for 12 month contract
  • 5-10 years of experience in Middle Office / Back Office / Trade Operations within an investment bank, asset manager, broker/dealer, or financial institution.
  • Strong attention to detail, high ownership mindset, and ability to work reliably under daily cut-offs and deadlines.
  • Clear, professional communication skills (written and verbal), including confidence in working with counterparties/banks.
  • Strong teamwork and flexibility—someone who can support peak periods (e.g., rollovers) and help the team hit targets.

 

Added requirements (helpful for success in this role)

  • Solid understanding of FX products (Spot, Forwards, swaps/rollovers), confirmations and settlement principles.
  • Comfortable working with reconciliations, exceptions management, and investigating root causes.

Experience with common market infrastructure/tools (e.g., SWIFT/payment workflows, confirmation platforms, settlement processes) is a plus.
