About the Role
Join our Structured Investment Operations team and play a key role supporting trade execution, process improvements, and client partnership. As a Trading Services Analyst within the Structured Investments Operations Team, you will support end-to-end execution across origination support, client onboarding, subscriptions, trade booking, confirmations, settlements, lifecycle management, and fee governance. You will contribute to standardization and reporting, maintain tracking tools, and collaborate with internal partners including Legal, Credit, Confirmations, Trading Assistants, Middle Office, Collateral, and Issuance to resolve queries and breaks.

Your responsibilities will include supporting daily trading operations end-to-end, ensuring timely trade capture, reconciliations, and break investigations with clear escalation and documentation. You will assist in preparing recurring management reports and team dashboards, contributing ideas for process improvement and standardization. Additionally, you will prepare client activity summaries and market/desk materials for Sales in a clear, structured format.

You will coordinate with Onboarding and Transition teams to support "good to trade" counterparty setup across relevant systems, monitor daily subscription bookings to ensure terms align with approvals, and flag exceptions for review. Supporting delivery instruction preparation and coordinating settlements with Operations partners will be key, helping drive timely booking and reconciliation.

Further duties include assisting with economic and non-economic amendments by coordinating inputs and ensuring appropriate sign-offs, maintaining pricing and tracking spreadsheets, responding to indicative pricing requests and routine client queries under oversight, and supporting lifecycle event checks such as expiries, resets, coupons, fees, and cashflows. You will also help investigate operational breaks and partner with Collateral and Operations teams on resolution and escalation.

Maintaining and drafting SOPs and desk procedures, contributing to control documentation, and providing audit-ready evidence will be part of your role, supporting a growing and dynamic team environment.

Experience
Experience in operations, trading services, middle office, settlements, confirmations, or a related financial services role is required. Equivalent internship or placement experience will also be considered.

About you
You have strong attention to detail, excellent organization skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with guidance. You possess solid analytical and problem-solving skills, are comfortable investigating breaks and documenting outcomes, and demonstrate strong communication skills with a collaborative working style.

Qualifications
Proficiency in Excel (formulas, pivots, basic data cleaning) and Microsoft Office is essential. Exposure to Structured Investments or Structured Finance concepts such as repacks, fund subscriptions, and distribution fees is preferred. Familiarity with onboarding workflows, affirmations/confirmations, and settlement processes is advantageous. Basic automation or reporting skills (e.g., VBA, Python, SQL) are a plus but not required. Experience updating SOPs or supporting process improvement initiatives in a growing team environment is desirable.
