Description
Flow Traders is looking for an experienced Operations Specialist to join our APAC team in Hong Kong. The ideal candidate is analytically strong, proactive, and motivated to work in a fast-paced trading environment. This is a unique opportunity to join a leading proprietary trading firm where operational excellence, automation, and continuous improvement are at the core of how we work.
The Operations team is responsible for trade lifecycle management, reconciliations, settlement, and control processes that directly support our trading desks. We are building a team that goes beyond traditional mid/back-office execution: we expect our specialists to deeply understand process flows and business logic, design better solutions, and leverage AI and other tools to implement them. What matters most is the ability to analyse how things work, identify what should change, and manage the migration.
The role sits within our broader first-line controls function, which encompasses our traditional operations function and other First-Line controls, trade reporting, and data management. As we continue to integrate and develop this function, there are opportunities to broaden your scope beyond traditional operations into these adjacent areas, offering a varied and rewarding career path for the right candidate.
What You Will Do
- Perform daily trade reconciliations, position monitoring, P&L attribution, and cash/cost reconciliation across multiple asset classes and prime brokers
- Investigate and resolve trade breaks, settlement issues, and corporate action events in a timely manner, liaising with counterparties, custodians, and prime brokers
- Analyse existing operational processes end-to-end, map business logic and data flows, and design improved solutions that reduce manual effort and error rates
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools and scripting (Python, SQL) to build and maintain automated reconciliation, reporting, and control workflows
- Manage and improve data pipelines that feed control and reporting workflows, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of operational data
- Support the onboarding of new counterparties, prime brokers, and market connectivity, including SSI setup and operational readiness testing
- Contribute to the APAC delivery of global technology and process improvement projects, collaborating with Technology teams to define requirements and validate outputs
- Monitor and manage operational risk throughout the trade lifecycle, escalating issues proactively and contributing to root-cause analysis and remediation
What You Need to Succeed
- 3+ years of mid/back-office or operations experience, preferably within a proprietary trading firm, hedge fund, or prime brokerage
- Strong technical literacy: you must be able to read, understand, and reason about code (Python, SQL) and data structures, whether you write it yourself or work with AI tools to generate it
- Demonstrated ability to analyse complex process flows, understand the underlying business logic, and translate that into clear, implementable solution designs
- Solid understanding of trade lifecycle processes across listed equities, ETFs, futures, FX, and/or OTC derivatives
- Experience with reconciliation frameworks, clearing and settlement workflows, and familiarity with Asian securities markets and their respective rules
- Comfort working with AI-assisted development and productivity tools to accelerate solution delivery
- Ability to work with large datasets, perform analysis, and translate findings into actionable process improvements
- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with a proactive, assertive, and flexible approach
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage a diverse range of tasks efficiently in a fast-paced environment
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
