- Gather, analyse, challenge, prioritise, and document business requirements, workflows, operational processes, functional specifications, user journeys, and control considerations across business and technology teams.

- Review, design, and enhance post-trade workflows, operating models, settlement processes, custody and retirement-related processes, exception handling, and ecosystem connectivity requirements supporting Core Climate and related initiatives.

- Lead and participate in user acceptance testing, test planning, defect triage, issue resolution, implementation planning, migration or rollout preparation, production readiness assessment, and go-live support.

- Coordinate with and influence internal stakeholders across Post-Trade, Operations, Technology, Risk, Finance, Legal, and other business teams, as well as external vendors or service providers, to align priorities, resolve delivery issues, and drive outcomes.

- Prepare management updates, steering materials, implementation trackers, risk and dependency assessments, and decision papers to support governance forums, stakeholder alignment, and management decision-making.

- Identify and drive opportunities for workflow enhancement, platform optimisation, operational efficiency, control strengthening, and scalability across evolving market infrastructure initiatives.

- Monitor developments relating to market infrastructure, carbon markets, workflow innovation, operational enhancement, and climate-related ecosystem initiatives to support project delivery, product readiness, and implementation planning.

- Provide end-to-end delivery leadership for strategic initiatives while remaining directly involved in business analysis, requirements management, operating model design, testing, implementation planning, operational readiness, stakeholder engagement, and issue resolution activities.

**Key Requirements:**

- Bachelor’s degree or above in Technology, Information Systems, Finance, Business, Engineering, or related disciplines.

- Significant relevant experience (typically 10+ years) in platform delivery, business analysis, operating model transformation, market infrastructure initiatives, or large-scale change programmes within financial services, exchanges, FMIs, fintech, or related sectors.

- Proven ability to independently lead and deliver complex initiatives, combining strategic oversight with hands-on execution across business analysis, delivery management, testing, implementation, and operational readiness.

- Strong experience in business analysis, workflow review, operating model assessment, process mapping, requirements management, and implementation coordination.

- Strong stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills, with the ability to work effectively across business, operations, technology, risk, legal, and other cross-functional stakeholders, as well as external service providers.

- Ability to structure deliverables, manage dependencies, escalate issues appropriately, prepare clear management materials, and maintain delivery discipline in a regulated market infrastructure environment.

- Able to operate effectively in a fast-paced and evolving project environment with multiple concurrent initiatives, changing priorities, and the need to balance strategic direction with practical execution.

- Strong analytical, problem-solving, multitasking, and execution capabilities, with attention to detail, quality of documentation, and delivery timelines.

- Exposure to platform delivery, market infrastructure enhancement, ecosystem initiatives, or technology-enabled solutions supporting trading, clearing, settlement, custody, or related financial services workflows is advantageous.
