New Products Coordination – Operations recruitment

These roles would be based within operations, in a niche area coordinating the approval process for new product proposals across a range of different asset classes. These new products could either be from a new structure perspective or an existing asset class being traded in a different jurisdiction. Any situation which would require a new process being developed.

Your role will be working closely with the front office where you will identify issues and solutions related to the new product process. You will liaise with infrastructure representatives, build consensus and solve issues performing initial risk assessments. You will host meetings, develop partnerships with functional and business heads and educate on the process, system and policies involved in a new product approval. Then on the back of all this you will develop reports and trend analysis. This is an exciting role where you are part of the cutting edge of the banks innovation. A true innovator and major influencer.

Key skills in the applicants are: a strong risk and control background (possibly as a consultant or auditor), a thorough understanding of investment banking processes from front to back, demonstrable experience dealing with senior management and the confidence to “kick back” on non compliant requests if necessary. You should also have a strong commercial bias, being able to take a “bigger picture” view. Commodity and FXD product group experience preferred but not essential. You must have worked in New Product Approvals in an Investment Bank already.
