• Leading the end-to-end controls framework across live and post-trade controls, settlements, margin monitoring and close-out, securities lending, and corporate actions

• Building a high-performing team, including overseeing hiring, coaching, role design, rota/coverage planning, performance management, and development
• Defining and tracking KPIs/KRIs to demonstrate control quality and operational health (e.g., break rates, aged breaks, settlement success/fail cost, margin breach outcomes)
• Partnering with Finance, Risk, and Compliance to ensure clean handoffs, aligning on product control/ledger, risk monitoring interfaces, and regulatory expectations
• Driving automation and tooling by partnering with Engineering to reduce manual work and scale controls without compromising on quality
• Designing readiness plans, playbooks, and control requirements for new product launches, entities, and vendors

What You'll Need

• Proven leadership experience building and running operational teams in high-control environments
• A deep understanding of the trade lifecycle (booking, recon, settlement, exceptions) and the interaction between internal books and external parties (LPs, brokers, custodians, banks)
• Knowledge of complex domains, such as margin, securities lending, derivatives/CFDs, or multi-asset operations
• Solid judgement capabilities when under pressure, with the ability to prioritise and lead incident-style resolution across teams
• Excellent analytical skills and to be comfortable working with data

Building a global financial super app isn’t enough. Our Revoluters are a priority, and that’s why in 2021 we launched our inaugural D&I Framework, designed to help us thrive and grow everyday. We're not just doing this because it's the right thing to do. We’re doing it because we know that seeking out diverse talent and creating an inclusive workplace is the way to create exceptional, innovative products and services for our customers. That’s why we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to join this multicultural, hard-working team.
