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.

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.
