If you’re working in Middle Office, Operations, or Settlements and looking to step out of BAU into something more dynamic, this is a strong opportunity to pivot into a project-driven role supporting trading and operational change across APAC markets.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to move closer to change, transformation, and cross-market initiatives, while still leveraging strong foundational operations knowledge.

You will sit at the intersection of Trading, Operations, Technology, and Market Infrastructure, gaining exposure to regional initiatives across Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, and Sydney.

4. Partner with PMs, Traders, Operations, Technology, Legal, and external providers
5. Join a lean, high-visibility team with regional scope

What you’ll be doing

1. Analyse and document end-to-end trade lifecycle workflows
2. Support the delivery of market access, product onboarding, and operational change initiatives
3. Coordinate stakeholders across regions and functions
4. Engage with brokers, custodians, and service providers to validate solutions
5. Track milestones, risks, dependencies, and ensure delivery momentum

What we’re looking for

1. 3–5 years’ experience in Middle Office / Operations / Settlements
2. Strong understanding of the trade lifecycle (execution → settlement)
3. Exposure to Fixed Income, FX, Equities, or Derivatives
4. Strong coordination, communication, and stakeholder management skills
5. Comfortable working in a project-driven, fast-paced environment
6. Strong Excel skills; SQL/Python/VBA or automation exposure is a plus
7. APAC market exposure (China, India, Korea, Taiwan) is a bonus

Why this is a strong career move - This role is designed for professionals who want to:

1. Step away from repetitive BAU processing work
2. Move into projects, change, and transformation delivery
3. Gain exposure to regional markets and complex initiatives
4. Build a long-term career path in change management, product, or front-office operations
