Your main responsibilities

Define, own and continuously evolve the IT target landscape for the Trading Division – and drive the transformation that gets us there, hand in hand with business and IT. Keep a clear, living view of our trading landscape – trading, position and risk management, market data, pricing, settlement and regulatory reporting – and turn the gap to target into a pragmatic, prioritised roadmap. Shape solution designs across the trade lifecycle (front, middle and back office), balancing business needs, IT strategy, security, integration principles and operational reality. Be the go-to architecture partner for projects, product teams, vendors and system integrators, setting clear standards and guardrails for our ETRM, risk, market-data and settlement platforms. Safeguard quality where it matters most – reviewing architectural impact, risks, dependencies and technical design debt before major changes go live, with a sharp eye on data integrity, latency, resilience and auditability. Help steer architecture governance, design authority reviews, roadmap planning, portfolio priorities and make-or-buy decisions for the division. Make sure trading regulation (REMIT, EMIR, MiFID II) is designed into the landscape from the start, rather than bolted on later. Champion standardisation, simplification, application reduction and modernisation – always weighing business value, security, sustainability, quality and cost.
