The role is designed for a detail-oriented professional who understands the trading lifecycle and can identify discrepancies before they develop into larger operational issues.

The successful candidate will monitor trade records, review execution data, coordinate the resolution of transaction exceptions, and prepare reports on operational performance. The analyst will also help improve workflow efficiency, strengthen data accuracy, and ensure that trading-related activities follow approved procedures and control requirements.

• Coordinate with traders, brokers, counterparties, and internal operations teams to resolve discrepancies within agreed service timelines.

• Monitor execution-related indicators, including order completion rates, rejected orders, execution delays, and transaction-processing exceptions.

• Maintain detailed records of incidents, investigation steps, resolution outcomes, and outstanding operational issues.

• Support the accurate capture of trade details, including instrument identifiers, trade quantities, prices, timestamps, and other relevant transaction information.

• Assist with the preparation of daily and periodic reports covering trading activity, reconciliation status, exception volumes, and operational performance.

• Escalate material errors, unusual transaction patterns, unresolved discrepancies, or potential control breaches through established procedures.

• Work with technology teams to investigate platform issues, data-feed interruptions, system integration errors, and recurring processing failures.

• Contribute to the review and documentation of standard operating procedures, reconciliation controls, and trade-processing workflows.

• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive operational tasks and reduce manual errors through improved reporting or workflow design.

• Support internal control reviews, operational audits, and requests for transaction documentation when required.

• Maintain appropriate confidentiality and follow applicable data-handling, information-security, and record-retention requirements.

• Help ensure that operational processes remain consistent with internal policies and relevant regulatory obligations.

• Strong Excel skills, including filtering, lookups, pivot tables, and the ability to analyse transaction-level data.

• Understanding of operational risk, data integrity, control procedures, and the importance of accurate transaction records.

• Familiarity with SQL, reporting tools, or process automation is an advantage.

• Strong attention to detail, numerical accuracy, and the ability to manage several operational tasks simultaneously.

• Effective communication and coordination skills when working with internal teams and external counterparties.

• Ability to identify recurring problems, document root causes, and recommend practical improvements.
