This individual will combine deep FX market expertise, trusted relationships and commercial energy to shape the product strategy, open doors across the wholesale market and convert client needs into scalable growth.

• New and enhanced solutions move from idea to launch and adoption, with performance measured against clear business cases.

• Build and deepen trusted relationships with banks, clearing members, clients, trading venues, brokers, platforms and market infrastructure providers.
• Represent ForexClear externally at industry forums, working groups, conferences and senior client meetings; bring authoritative market insight back into the business.
• Lead development of new products, workflow enhancements and analytical solutions from market validation and business case through launch, adoption and post-launch review.
• Drive initiatives that improve client clearing, venue connectivity, account structures, margin and collateral efficiency, compression, backloading, transfers, event processing, reporting and decision-support tools.
• Translate FX market structure, capital, margin and regulatory developments into differentiated client solutions and clear commercial priorities.
• Work closely with Risk, Technology, Operations, Delivery, Legal, Regulatory, Marketing and other LSEG businesses to deliver robust, scalable solutions.
• Provide clear product leadership to external Boards and senior member stakeholders, including persuasive proposals, updates and recommendations.

• Serve as a core member of the ForexClear leadership team, contributing to overall strategy, performance and culture.
