  • Communicate with senior client stakeholders (both technical and trading desks) to provide transparency and confidence throughout the onboarding process.

Process & Strategy

  • Drive continuous improvement to reduce time-to-market for client onboarding.
  • Establish and monitor KPIs for onboarding efficiency, client satisfaction, and go-live success rates.
  • Collaborate with product and technology teams to provide feedback from onboarding that informs platform enhancements.
  • Maintain deep knowledge of trading regulations, exchange rules, and evolving FIX standards to keep onboarding processes current.

Requirements

  • Strong expertise in FIX protocol (4.2/4.4/5.0) and trading workflows (equities, futures, options, FX, etc.).
  • Proven experience managing multiple large-scale client onboarding projects.
  • Leadership experience, either as a team lead or in a senior mentoring role.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and business stakeholders.
  • Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to work in high-pressure trading environments.
