Position Summary

We are on an exciting journey to improve the quality, consistency, and accessibility of our data to enable timely and informed decision‑making across Securities & Markets. To support this effort, we are seeking a senior Securities & Markets professional with strong domain expertise and a deep understanding of front‑to‑back trading and post‑trade processes.

The ideal candidate brings hands‑on experience across Securities & Markets products and operating models, with a solid understanding of how trades are executed, captured, processed, risk‑managed, and reported. This role is well‑suited for an experienced Securities & Markets professional who understands the business end‑to‑end and is motivated to improve the quality and usability of the data that supports those activities.

This is not a technical or analytics role. The Vice President will act as a business subject matter expert and data steward, partnering closely with front office, operations, risk, and control teams to improve the clarity, controls, and reliability of Securities & Markets data.

This role is expected to act as a team lead for a group of 3–7 individuals, providing direction, prioritization, and day‑to‑day guidance, without full people‑management accountability.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a business steward for critical data elements across the Securities & Markets domain (e.g., instruments, trades, positions, counterparties, pricing, valuations, exposures, lifecycle events)
• Define and maintain clear business definitions, usage standards, and ownership for Securities & Markets data
• Ensure data accurately reflects the business intent and operating reality of Securities & Markets products and processes
• Identify where process gaps, manual workarounds, or inconsistent practices lead to data quality or control issues
• Partner with front office, operations, risk, and control teams to improve upstream processes that generate or modify Securities & Markets data
• Help prioritize and resolve data issues that impact reporting, client experience, risk management, financial control, or regulatory obligations
• Translate business requirements and pain points into clear, actionable guidance for downstream consumers of Securities & Markets data
• Participate in data governance forums and working groups related to Securities & Markets
• Support data quality monitoring, root‑cause analysis, and issue remediation efforts
• Improve transparency and confidence in how Securities & Markets data is sourced, defined, and used across the organization
• Act as a team lead, coordinating work, setting priorities, and mentoring junior team members
  
  

Qualifications

• 5 years of experience in Securities & Markets, such as trading, sales, middle office, operations, product control, risk management, or markets‑related control functions
• Strong working knowledge of the end‑to‑end Securities & Markets lifecycle, including trade capture, lifecycle events, valuations, settlement, and reporting
• Ability to explain complex markets concepts clearly to both business and non‑business audiences
• Strong collaboration, influence, and problem‑solving skills
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management capabilities
• Detail‑oriented with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
  
  

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to data quality, control environments, or process improvement efforts (formal or informal)
• Comfort working across functions and driving change without direct authority
• Curiosity and interest in improving how business data is created, governed, and consumed
• Prior experience acting as a team lead or informal mentor
  
  

What This Role Is Not

• Not a data engineering, analytics, or technical role
• No coding, modeling, or system development responsibilities
• No requirement for formal data management or data architecture experience
• Focused on business ownership, clarity, and partnership, not technology delivery
  
  

The typical base pay range for this role is between $134k-$169k depending on job-related knowledge, skills, experience and location. This role may also be eligible for certain discretionary performance-based bonus and/or incentive compensation. Additionally, our Total Rewards program provides colleagues with a competitive benefits package (in accordance with the eligibility requirements and respective terms of each) that includes comprehensive health and wellness benefits, retirement plans, educational assistance and training programs, income replacement for qualified employees with disabilities, paid maternity and parental bonding leave, and paid vacation, sick days, and holidays.
