Role purpose
Be the daily point of contact for live clients. Sales Traders make sure every client instruction is captured accurately and executed on time, handle exceptions, and move clients onto the portal and API so that routine flow runs straight-through. They are the Account Manager’s eyes and ears on each client’s day-to-day activity.
Benefits
Client service

Execution
  • Capture client orders in the platform where they do not arrive straight-through
  • Set up fiat payments and token transfers within the firm’s payment controls and against the recorded client instruction and the standing settlement instructions on file
  • Never create or amend standing settlement instructions; new or changed beneficiary details go to Operations for independent verification
  • Quote bespoke terms only within the pricing policy and its limits; routine pricing is automated
Partnership with Account Managers
  • Pass changes in activity, new needs and cross-sell signals to the Account Manager
  • Support go-live of new clients: first trades, testing and set-up with Operations and Technology
  • Log key interactions and issues in HubSpot
Control and conduct

  • Keep complete, accurate records of client instructions and actions

  • Error and rework rate
  • Share of client flow straight-through via portal or API
  • Client feedback
  • Quality of escalations and records
Experience and knowledge
  • 3–7 years in a client-facing execution role: sales trading, payments or FX desk, treasury operations or digital-asset OTC
  • Working knowledge of payment systems and cut-offs (e.g. SWIFT, SEPA, Faster Payments, local RTGS) and of stablecoin transfers and custody wallets; Fireblocks experience is an advantage
  • High accuracy under time pressure; comfortable working within maker–checker controls
  • Clear written communication in English with institutional clients; for the Asia opening, Mandarin or Cantonese is an advantage
  • Willingness to work a rota that covers client time zones
Personal attributes
  • Calm, precise and service-minded
  • Owns an instruction until it has settled
  • Looks for ways to automate the routine
  • Speaks up early when something looks wrong
Regulatory and conduct
The role is subject to the firm’s fitness and propriety assessment and to any regulatory approval or certification that applies to it in the relevant entity. The holder is expected to meet the applicable conduct rules and to treat compliance, client-data confidentiality and market conduct as part of the job, not as someone else’s.
