Summary

• Electronic trading has become an increasingly important component of the global FICC and Equities market landscape, contributing to changes in the market structure, price construction and distribution and liquidity provision.

• The candidate, based in London, will benefit from a strong exposure to commercial and trading initiatives and will work closely with GMD teams as well as Support Functions to implement and run a sound operating framework for trading venues.
