JOB TITLE:Product Owner, Strategic Trade Flow, Markets Platform

WORKING PATTERN:Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites

About the Strategic Trade Flow (STF) Lab

The STF Lab, part of the Markets Platform, was established to drive the successful delivery of the Murex Migration Programme (MMP) while simultaneously enhancing our business-as-usual (BAU) capabilities. Our mission is to evolve and strengthen the strategic Murex application, enabling a broader range of products and processes that MMP will introduce.

Our team is structured into two dedicated product groups:Core Trade Management, which supports trade booking across Murex (FX & Commodities) and Summit (Rates & Credit); andFinancing & Collateral, which manages the Apex repo system and Colline for collateral management. As part of MMP, Summit, Apex, and Colline will be consolidated into the Murex platform, aligning with our goals of application rationalisation, cost efficiency, technology simplification, and improved risk management.

While transformation is a key focus, we're equally committed to maintaining a resilient and stable BAU environment to support ongoing business and client needs. As we continue to scale the Lab, we're investing in automation (e.g., release testing) and engineering excellence to future-proof our technology landscape and ensure we're well-positioned to adapt to the evolving demands of the market.
