Product Specialist - Trading (EMEA)

The Product Specialist - Trading will work within the Product Management organization on the Trade Management & Workflow vertical of Oneview, a next‑generation front‑to‑risk application for the financial markets industry.

The role owns the end‑to‑end functional specification of a trade as it lives within Oneview: from pre‑trade analysis and validation, through trade capture and booking, across all lifecycle events, and through interactions with upstream and downstream systems. These include upstream trading venues and clearing platforms, as well as downstream payment, settlement, and back‑office systems. The remit also includes trade‑level settled cash flows and their full lifecycle.

While primarily focused on workflows and controls rather than analytics, the role requires a solid understanding of core risk management concepts to ensure trade processes are risk‑aware and fully compatible with downstream risk and PnL analytics.

What You'll Do:

• Define functional specifications for the complete trade lifecycle within a front‑to‑risk application, from pre‑trade checks through booking, lifecycle events, and termination.
• Own user‑centric requirements in JIRA for trade capture, booking models, lifecycle states, approvals, validations, and workflow orchestration.
• Specify interactions with upstream systems such as execution venues, trading platforms, and clearing houses (e.g. trade enrichment, confirmations, clearing state).
• Define workflows governing downstream integrations with payment systems, settlement platforms, and back‑office systems.
• Own functional behavior for trade‑level settled cash flows, including generation, amendments, netting, settlement status, and lifecycle tracking.
• Define booking hierarchies and core trade attributes (legal entity, desk, book) and ensure correctness for downstream risk, PnL, and operations.
• Collaborate with UX/Design to define intuitive screens for trade capture, lifecycle tracking, workflow actions, and operational views.
• Ensure workflows enforce appropriate controls, roles, permissions, and approval chains.
• Define functional test cases and support reviews and UAT with trading, operations, and risk users.
• Act as the primary functional contact for developers on Trade Management & Workflow topics.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience with trade management or front‑to‑back trading systems.
• Strong understanding of the full derivative trade lifecycle, including clearing, settlement, and cash‑flow processing.
• Good working knowledge of risk management fundamentals (PnL, sensitivities, VaR, exposure) and their dependency on accurate trade and lifecycle data.
• Experience specifying workflows involving upstream venues or clearing platforms and downstream payment and back‑office systems.
• Proven ability to write clear, structured, user‑centric requirements in JIRA.
• Exposure to multiple asset classes and their lifecycle specificities.
• Strong communicator, comfortable working across product, engineering, trading, operations, and risk teams.

This is a hybrid or remote role, open to the EMEA region with a preference for those who live in the Milan, Italy area.
