THE ROLE

We are looking for a Head of trading to lead and evolve Seccl’s trading capability as we scale.

Trading is a critical part of the platform experience for both our clients and the investors they serve. Today we deliver trading through an outsourced execution model, but we are now building the next generation of our trading infrastructure, with a direct market model designed to deliver lower costs, greater control and a significantly improved client experience.

As Head of trading you will own the performance, control and development of trading at Seccl. You’ll be responsible for day to day trading operations whilst also playing a central role in delivering our new brokerage model and shaping the future architecture of trading across the platform.

- Own the end to end trading capability at Seccl ensuring execution, settlement and post trade processes operate reliably, efficiently and with strong operational control

- Support the trading operations team,...
