Equity Finance Trading Operations Lead (Hong Kong)
About the job
A Hong Kong financial-services firm is looking for a Middle Office specialist to run day-to-day operations for its equity finance business. You'll sit at the center of the trading workflow - covering order handling, trade capture, execution support, and custody - while working hand-in-glove with the back office on settlement and clearing across listed instruments such as swaps, futures, options, and other derivatives. It's a hybrid role: part operations management, part process design, part client service.
What You'll Do
Oversee daily running of the trading platform across order management, trade capture/execution, and custody workflows for equity finance products, coordinating closely with back office on settlement and clearing.
Build and maintain KPIs that track operational efficiency, client satisfaction, and overall business performance.
Define a target operating model and lead rollout of procedures across trading platforms, including contingency and fallback processes.
Continuously refine operational workflows, identifying gaps and documenting controls (e.g., producing a detailed process manual covering the full workflow).
Manage corporate action bookings on swaps and related hedges, ensuring entitlements are captured accurately and on time in risk and booking systems.
Handle the full range of client trading-account matters - from onboarding through funding, margin, and stock/cash movements.
Partner with technology teams to enhance platform capabilities and support smooth integration between internal and third-party systems.
Work alongside risk and finance teams on operational controls and the annual fund audit.
Take on ad hoc projects such as investor due diligence and broker onboarding.
