- Collaborate with Technology and Operations teams to troubleshoot issues affecting trading and pricing systems.
- Identify opportunities to improve data quality, monitoring, controls and the reliability of daily pricing processes.
- Use Python, SQL and Excel, as appropriate, to analyse datasets, automate checks and improve existing workflows.
- Develop a strong understanding of ETF structures, underlying securities, index methodologies and market dynamics.
- Contribute to trading-desk projects and enhancements as ETF products and business requirements evolve.

- Experience with PCFs, corporate actions, index data or security reference data would be highly regarded.
- Programming experience in Python, with the ability to analyse data and improve or automate workflows.
- Strong Excel skills; SQL experience is an advantage.
- Good numerical and analytical skills, with a structured approach to troubleshooting data and pricing issues.
- High attention to detail and sound judgement when working with time-sensitive information.
