Who we are looking for

The individual must have strong client relationship experience and experience of dealing with client initiatives, as well as managing resolution of any client facing issues.

The individual needs strong analytical skills combined with knowledge of the Foreign Exchange (FX) market and will ideally have worked on FX trading platforms and post trade applications.

The individual must have superb negotiation skills and be adept at managing complex client situations.
