Technology & Engineering
for Capital Markets

Talent search for technology and engineering professionals across capital markets institutions — from software engineering, cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and cybersecurity to the systems that power trading, clearing, risk, and market operations.

The Post-Trade Mandate

Where market activity becomes
institutional certainty.

Clearing and post-trade leadership operates the institutional infrastructure that translates trade execution into settlement certainty — the systems-based discipline of counterparty risk management, margin operations, settlement systems, and the post-trade architecture that defines market stability.

We identify senior post-trade leaders who combine deep infrastructure fluency with the operational depth required by clearing institutions — executives who understand that clearing and post-trade systems are not back-office plumbing, but the foundation of system reliability and institutional risk management.

Leadership Focus

Six areas of clearing & post-trade
leadership

Every clearing and post-trade engagement we run draws on focused expertise across these core dimensions of institutional infrastructure.

Clearing Operations Leaders

Senior clearing operations executives — leaders at exchanges, clearing houses, and clearing members shaping institutional clearing infrastructure and the operational discipline of central counterparty activity.

Post-Trade Infrastructure Executives

Senior leaders overseeing post-trade infrastructure — the systems, platforms, and operational architecture that connect trade execution to clearing, settlement, and confirmation across capital markets institutions.

Settlement System Leaders

Heads of Settlement and senior settlement systems executives — leaders managing T+1/T+2 settlement cycles, reconciliation platforms, and the operational systems that finalize capital markets transactions.

Counterparty Risk Management Executives

Heads of Counterparty Risk — executives managing institutional exposure across trading counterparties, credit limits, default risk, and the institutional risk frameworks that govern clearing relationships.

Margin & Collateral Operations Leaders

Heads of Margin Methodology and Collateral Management — leaders designing initial and variation margin frameworks, collateral optimization, and the operational discipline critical to clearing efficiency.

Trade Lifecycle Strategy

Senior leaders overseeing strategic clearing relationships and the institutional approach to the trade lifecycle — execution to clearing to settlement, and the post-trade architecture connecting capital markets venues.

What We Look For

The standards that define post-trade
leadership

Clearing and post-trade leadership at a capital markets institution is defined by infrastructure fluency, systems-based discipline, and operational depth. The leaders we identify reflect those specific demands.

01. Infrastructure Fluency

Leaders fluent in clearing house operations, settlement systems, and the post-trade infrastructure of capital markets — working depth across the trade lifecycle, not surface familiarity.

02. Counterparty Risk Authority

Executives who manage institutional risk frameworks — counterparty exposure, margin methodology, collateral optimization — and exercise judgment under counterparty stress.

03. System Reliability & Operational Depth

Leaders who deliver market stability — the disciplined operations that anchor settlement certainty, navigate supervisory frameworks, and uphold institutional risk management.
