About the Role:

‍

OSTTRA’s Finance team requires a recently qualified accountant to join the Revenue FP&A team. OSTTRA is the home of MarkitSERV, Traiana, TriOptima and Reset businesses that offer post trade services to a community of 10k+ clients. Our company brings together people, processes, and networks to solve the markets’ most challenging problems. Innovating, integrating, and optimising the post-trade workflow – we are positively shaping the way the community works forever.

There is significant change within finance as we work to build a fully standalone finance function and develop the reporting and analysis we provide. This role will suit someone who enjoys variety and is intellectually curious. While you will have regular responsibilities, this role will have changing deliverables as we respond to the needs of shareholders; the finance function and the broader business.
