We are partnering with the best solution providers to make the trading and post-trading workflow as transparent and efficient as possible. The overarching goal is to simplify communication and allow our key resources to focus together on problem-solving whilst considering automation.

As an Operations Associate, you will be responsible for:
- Supporting portfolio managers and execution traders, the functions include trade capture, reconciliation, positions & trade query resolution, ad-hoc reporting, settlement, compressions, collapses and corporate actions.
- Gathering a detailed understanding of upcoming trading strategy updates and anticipating operative impact and needs.
- Build and maintain solid relationships with external third-party vendors, ensuring our business expansion roadmap is understood and reflected in quality and efficiency.
- Managing all related layers of complexity involved in daily positions and cash reconciliation.
- Granting consistency of information in OMS to ensure reliability of marked-to-market p&l.
- Reviewing, improving and documenting existing procedures to secure and smoothen all aspects of trading and the post-trading workflow.

We seek someone with 5-10y hands-on experience in a cross-asset operational role, covering OTC rates, credit, FX, and listed products. Working knowledge of Markit MTM, DTCC, ICE link, Trade Web and Bloomberg would be a strong plus.
This is not a role for someone who not only wants to follow procedures but for someone with a marked self-starter attitude and desire to position themself as a future pillar and potential leader of a rising team. New procedures must be designed and implemented to best compromise between flexibility and risk control in a dynamically changing environment. To leave a fingerprint, a candidate should show exceptional organizational skills, the ability to prioritize, and the ability to manage multiple tasks while maintaining a high level of quality. Being practical and thorough under pressure will make you stand out.

Why you should apply:
At Swissblock, we offer an exciting and diverse environment with flat hierarchies and excellent peers. Even if we are young, we are a self-funded and already profitable company with a culture based on responsibility and merit. Empowerment is a key value that is reflected in our career opportunities dynamics, which continuously grow with the business.
