Operations Support Manager
A leading financial technology provider is looking for an Operations Support Manager to oversee the smooth running of multiple live trading platforms and lead a small, high‑performing support team.

You’ll manage a team responsible for first‑line support during market hours, ensuring systems remain stable, issues are resolved quickly, and clients receive exceptional service. The role involves monitoring live environments, coordinating incident response, maintaining reference data, raising operational changes, and working closely with internal teams across Compliance, Surveillance, Infrastructure, and Product.
