POSITION SUMMARY

As FX Product Analyst, you will sit directly in Markets and be responsible for several of our strategic FX products and platforms. This includes supporting the implementation of new technology efforts, assisting with ongoing product development initiatives, onboarding clients onto our platforms and providing day-to-day support internally to the Foreign Exchange trading desk and externally to our clients.

This role partners directly with our New Business Development team as a subject matter expert during the sale process. Once a client is committed, the FX Product Anlyst is the client's first point of contact and is responsible for onboarding them onto our products. This includes integration with the client's systems, coordinating documentation with legal, and instructing our back office to open and setup accounts. Once the client is live, this specialist will be key to the relationship moving forward and will liaise with our FX desk to help to participate in client meetings, provide day to day support and help manage their FX program.

The FX Product Analyst will also help drive and support technology efforts across both our internal and external products. This role will work closely with our Systems and Quality Management teams to implement new products and enhancements to our existing products.

Since this role will be expected to partner across many internal teams, (Relationship Management/Sales trading, Trading, Sales, Technology, Documentation and Operations), as well as supporting clients directly, we are searching for a candidate with strong communication and an interest inbuilding relationships. The ideal candidate will also have a strong interest for Foreign Exchange and Technology.
