Electronic Trading Business Analyst PM - Ion Marketview - Investment Bank 

 Business Analyst is responsible for managing the delivery of key functionalities of our electronic trading applications.

Essentially we are looking for:

At least one substantial prior experience (3y+) as a business analyst / project manager in a large organisation

Strong knowledge of fixed income instruments, and associated trading workflows: Government Bonds, Interest Swaps, Repos, Futures and options

Extensive understanding of electronic trading venues, APIs and associated dataflows : market, static and trade data.

Significant experience of working with the ION Trading platform.

Significant prior professional experience in support, business analysis, project and/or product management, either at a financial institution or a software house

Excellent communication skills in English, spoken and written (other languages advantageous)

Innovative mentality

Active interest in design of system architecture

Excellent problem solving skills

Any prior experience with scripting, debugging or software development is a welcome plus.

Role

In-scope instruments are all electronically-traded government, inflation and more structured bonds, swaps, futures and repos in all currencies worldwide, with a specific focus on EUR and USD.

Electronic venues include exchanges (eg Eurex, CME), dealer-to-dealer markets (eg MTS, BrokerTec, MOT, iSwap, TradX, GLMX) and dealer-to-customer markets (eg Bloomberg, Tradeweb, BondVision). Additionally, the platform handles all trading workflows associated with customer "voice" enquiries, interpreted and priced via in-house analytical libraries developed in partner teams.

The platform itself is an ecosystem of distinct, loosely coupled applications covering a wide range of functionality from pricing, quotation, auto-negotiation and execution to market aggregation, smart order routing and auto-hedging. Various trading workflows are supported, including vendor UIs and "chat bots".

In Production, the application suite is deployed onto x3 distinct global datacentres (Tokyo, London, New-York) and operates under both high availability and real-time, low latency constraints, reacting to potentially "spiky" market conditions. On dealer-to-dealer markets, the Bank is "under obligation", meaning officially ranked as a factor of the permanence, tightness and tradability of its bid/offer contribution.

For market connectivity and abstraction, the platform relies on both ION Trading software and internally-developed adaptors.
