Be part of a new capability at Macquarie. Market Services is undertaking a greenfield rebuild of the post-trade lifecycle, re-architecting how trades are processed, validated, settled and reconciled across Commodities and Global Markets.

Lead a team that is redesigning the operating model and technology stack — replacing fragmented, manual processes with a digital-first, event-driven platform underpinned by deterministic controls and AI-native workflows.

We are a global financial services group operating in 30 markets with 57 years of unbroken profitability. At Macquarie, you’re empowered to shape a career that is fulfilling and creates value. You will bring your insights and expertise to the task at hand and feel supported as you make your own kind of impact for a better future.

What role will you play?

As the Post-trade Lifecycle Transformation Product Owner, you will own and define the Trade Lifecycle Operational Flow, setting the vision for a fully digital, event-driven post-trade environment. This includes the target-state architecture, product strategy, and roadmap to deliver scalable, deterministic outcomes from design through enterprise adoption.

You will lead a first-principles re-architecture of post-trade, replacing manual, fragmented, batch processes with structured lifecycle events, canonical data models, and automated controls. This is a true greenfield opportunity to design the future state.

Accountable for end-to-end lifecycle outcomes, you will partner with trading, operations, and technology to eliminate manual touchpoints and enable real-time, straight-through processing with full transparency and control.

You will embed AI as a core capability, enabling automated decision making, intelligent routing, and proactive exception management. Leading cross-functional teams in an ambiguous environment, you will drive rapid execution while maintaining strategic clarity, building scalable, reusable platforms with long-term commercial value.

  • Exceptional product thinker in engineering-led environments, shaping what gets built and why, with a first-principles mindset focused on reimagining processes rather than incrementally improving them. 
  • Proven experience creating workflow systems, operational platforms, or trade lifecycle technology from the ground up, with a focus on eliminating manual processes.
  • Hands-on experience building with AI agents, Large Language Model (LLM) powered workflows, and agentic systems—leveraging AI as a force multiplier and leading teams to do the same.
  • Thrives in fast-paced, greenfield environments with high stakes, demonstrating the ability to lead cross-functional teams (engineering, operations, data) and consistently deliver working products.
  • Commercially driven with an eye for cost, scale, and building products; ideally brings experience or familiarity with post-trade operations, capital markets, event-driven architectures, and trade lifecycle systems.
  • Someone who challenges conventions, prioritises transformation over incremental change, and relentlessly pursues better ways of working.
