About the Role

At Wellington Management our appetite for technology is insatiable. We recognize that the world is full of fascinating questions that will impact the future of companies, economies, financial markets, and entire industries. We want you to help us find answers to these questions by building and evolving our innovative, industry leading, technology platform. We are seeking qualified candidates to join our expanding technology team. Together, you will not only dream up solutions to today’s investment challenges, but you will build them to see real-life results. Technology needs are advancing, and this level of complexity requires a highly sophisticated well-managed technology platform that is built by people like you. This is your chance to build something incredible. We want you to think big, to solve challenges, and positively impact our clients.

JOB OVERVIEW

The Post-Trade Technologies team plays a critical role in providing the technology platform and support for the firm’s global Trade Coordination and Trade Operations teams to process trade confirmations and settlements with our brokers and custodians. We are currently seeking a strong Senior Systems Analyst with expert level SQL skills to play a key role in delivering solutions to our business partners, solve complex problems, and strive to advance and sustain a world-class platform. Since the role requires frequent interaction with both business users and IT stakeholders across multiple teams - excellent communication, collaboration and delivery skills are essential. You will work with, and learn from exceptional investment, trading and operations professionals through cross-platform, data driven projects and assignments. The ideal candidate is as curious about the business as they are about the technology.

You will immerse yourself in the daily work of our Settlements and Trade Operations analysts to understand why different trade operational procedures exist, dig into production data with SQL to diagnose issues and anticipate the problems our users will want solved next, and understand how our applications are built well enough to brainstorm and design optimal workflows alongside our developers. We are looking for someone who treats every project as their own: you are passionate about what you build, you take the initiative to push it forward, and you stay invested in its success long after go-live, all while working effectively under pressure and balancing multiple priorities. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced IT professional to join a strong, collaborative team in a senior level role.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Interact directly with business partners at all levels of the organization to define, analyze, and document requirements, as well as set priorities
Act as a champion and trusted advisor for the needs of our business partners
Develop deep knowledge and expertise in Wellington specific workflows, including the trade confirmation and settlement lifecycle, and the reasons behind each operational procedure, market convention and control, not just the steps
Spend time with Settlements and Operations analysts to observe their processes first-hand, and use that understanding to anticipate pain points and propose solutions before they are requested
Author functional, design and support documentation
Collaborate with software developers, database architects, vendors and other IT and business teams to analyze and determine functional specifications and UI design for new applications and enhancements to existing applications, acting as a design partner who understands how our applications, data flows and interfaces are built and can help shape the optimal workflow
Develop a strong partnership with the delivery team to ensure on-time, scalable, and high-quality business solutions
Provide regular status reporting and issue tracking on projects
Provide input into system design to help the development team define effort and implementation schedules
Provide oversight for the various phases of testing and user acceptance
On a rotational basis, provide production support to our business users and act as an escalation point person for support issues that require detailed analysis and management
Engage in Vendor/Broker management tasks and work with our business team to execute project work, enhancements and raise defects on vendor platforms

QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Business, Economics, Finance or related subject
5+ years of business analysis or system analysis experience
Strong, hands-on SQL skills, with demonstrated experience writing queries against relational databases to investigate production issues, reconcile data across systems and uncover root causes
Demonstrated interest in using AI and advanced tooling to enhance business analysis workflows, including requirements development, data exploration, testing and knowledge discovery
Understanding of financial instruments such as equities, bonds, swaps, options, futures, forwards and FX, and of the post-trade lifecycle for these instruments (allocation, confirmation, settlement and fails management)
Excellent verbal and written presentation and communication skills
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with high attention to detail
Strong client relationship skills and proven ability to build consensus
Candidates must possess a unique blend of business and technical savvy; a big-picture vision, and an ability to work with various internal teams to execute on that vision, along with a working understanding of how applications are built (databases, interfaces and data flows, batch versus real-time processing) sufficient to brainstorm and design workflows with developers
Experience working directly with business partners to understand their needs and deliver solutions that meet those needs, ideally in a trade operations, settlements or other middle/back-office environment
Experience writing requirements, functional specifications, use cases, and test plans
Experience in IT change, incident and problem management and SDLC
Change agent, creative, innovative and focused on continuous improvement
Experience using project tracking tools, such as Jira or Service Now
Experience supporting critical production applications
High degree of enthusiasm to work independently in an energetic, fast-paced, business-critical and team oriented-environment
Intellectual curiosity about how our business partners work and to learn independently and from peers

We just closed an employee tender offer which values ElevenLabs at $22BN, up 2x from our Series D in February. The tender was led by Wellington and T. Rowe Price, and the growth is driven by demand from enterprises to deploy ElevenAgents across sales, support, and operations. In 2022, we raised our first round at a $9 million valuation, which we announced alongside Eleven v1, our first Text to Speech model, and the first model to generate human-level speech. Four years later, as we reach our new valuation, we just released two new state-of-the-art Text to Speech models. Eleven v4 and v4 Turbo are our fastest and most emotive models yet, and are leading independent benchmarks. Alongside models, we have built a full interaction platform for AI. It allows organizations to deploy conversational agents, connected to their knowledge and systems, that interact naturally in any industry, geography, or context. This shift is driving much of our growth, with enterprise now accounting for 55% of our revenue, as businesses adopt ElevenAgents to support their customers and employees. Our technology is now used in daily operations at five of the world’s ten largest tech companies, five of the ten largest insurers, and four of the ten largest telecoms. The round was co-led by Wellington Management and T. Rowe Price, along with participation from Goldman Sachs, GIC, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, EQT Group, Sapphire Ventures, and BDT & MSD Partners. And grateful for ongoing support from existing investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Alkeon Capital, The D. E. Shaw Group, Disruptive, Evantic Capital, ICONIQ, and Lightspeed. Most of all, this round is for the team that built the last four years. We're just getting started! | 89 comments on LinkedIn
