Market Services is reimagining the post-trade lifecycle from first principles replacing manual, fragmented operations with a digital-first platform built on event-driven architecture, deterministic controls, and AI-native workflows. The goal: zero manual adjustments, straight-through processing, and a scalable platform that grows with volume, not cost.
Today, millions of post-trade events are processed annually, underpinned by a staggering volume of manual adjustments across validations, settlements, and reconciliations. That's not a problem to manage. It's a problem to eliminate.
We are seeking a Product Owner to join the team designing the Trade Lifecycle Operational Flow the core engine that replaces manual, batch-driven post-trade processing with structured lifecycle events, a canonical data model, and straight-through processing.
You'll be designing and delivering the system that makes zero manual adjustments a reality leading hybrid teams of engineers and AI agents to build at a speed and quality the industry hasn't seen.
If you're looking for a role where you maintain a backlog and attend standups, this isn't it. If you want to fundamentally rethink how post-trade works keep reading.
We are a global financial services group operating in 30 markets with 57 years of unbroken profitability. At Macquarie, youre 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?

You'll own:
Trade Lifecycle Operational Flow
- Design structured lifecycle events that make downstream controls deterministic not reactive
- Define the canonical operational schema that standardises how trades flow through the lifecycle
- Drive the engineering backlog from MVP through to production at scale
End-to-End Integration
- Work with Trade Capture teams to ensure upstream data quality eliminates downstream manual adjustments at source
- Partner with Trade Lifecycle and Digital Channels squads to deliver cohesive end-to-end outcomes
AI & Automation
- Embed AI into the lifecycle automated exception resolution, intelligent routing, predictive controls
- Challenge every manual touchpoint: if it can be a rule, make it a rule; if it can be learned, train a model; if it shouldn't exist, kill it
- Design systems where AI agents operate as first-class participants in the post-trade lifecycle not bolted on, but built in
Building with People and Agents
- Lead hybrid teams where engineers and AI agents collaborate to design, build, test, and ship
- Define how AI agents are deployed within your squads as coding partners, testing agents, data pipeline builders, and operational executors
- You're not managing a team that uses AI. You're building a team where AI is a teammate.
Platform Delivery
- Build internal-first with commercial potential solutions designed to scale beyond a single business
- Think in platforms, not projects

- Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams (engineering, operations, data) and ship product that works
- Experience or strong conviction in building with AI agents you see them as force multipliers, not novelties
Highly Desirable
- Experience in post-trade operations, capital markets, or market infrastructure.
- The initial focus will be on Physical Commodities from logistics to post-trade - Commodities experience would be welcome but not necessary
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures, canonical data models, or trade lifecycle systems
