Equities IT manager in Nordea recruitment

Strong leader with exceptional people, business and technical skills to set new standards within Capital Markets

In the modern Capital Markets organisation, IT plays a major role as an enabler for the business to remain profitable and service our customers. At Nordea, this is achieved by a close partnership with the business, understanding their models, goals and requirements; all while staying ahead of the competition on technology.

You will be managing a team of 12 exceptionally skilled individuals across the Nordics, and you are in charge of development and maintenance of a portfolio of applications used by the Equities business, mainly by the Front Office.

In your role, you will be a member of various steering groups and the Securities IT management team.

Preferred partner to support the business on the path to becoming a Great European Bank
Securities IT provides IT solutions to support the Equities and Fixed Income divisions at Nordea Capital Markets, front to back.

In order to support our partners on the business side to achieve our common goal of becoming a Great European Bank, Securities IT provides top class IT solutions and support. We take pride in being pro-active, responsive, and always putting our clients’ interest first.

Extraordinary people skills, passion for business and technology, and constant drive to deliver
We expect that you have managerial experience and that you are capable of establishing good relations with your employees, other colleagues and to your partners in business. In addition, you have a great personal drive, are extrovert, proactive and know how to use the different competencies in your team. You excel under pressure, have a flexible mindset and enjoy a constantly changing environment. Like us, you strive to maintain a positive working environment.

You have previous experience from the equities industry and strong technical skills, preferably including areas like low latency trading and algorithmic trading in an Investment Bank or similar. Your mix of business and IT skills allow you to be equally comfortable speaking to the head of equity trading as the head of IT infrastructure.

To be successful in this role, you will truly need to be a driver of change, ensuring exceptionally short turnaround time of deliveries – large and small. The business operates in an environment that is measured in seconds down to microseconds, and they rely on your ability to deliver IT services to match that.

Background and experience from project- or programme management is an advantage. Knowledge of Sungard Front Arena is a strong advantage.
