Market Operations – Join One of Australia's Big 4 Banks!
Based in Sydney | Make an impact at the heart of financial markets
Looking to start your career in a role that keeps you close to the action in financial markets, but without sitting on a trading desk or the phones? Here’s your chance to be part of one of Australia’s Big 4 banks — right in the middle of a high-energy, high-impact environment.
The Market Operations team is the engine room behind the bank’s Institutional Banking and Markets business. From Sydney, this team keeps everything moving — making sure trades are processed, risks are managed, and systems are running smoothly across a wide range of products like FX, bonds, and derivatives.
A Bit About your Team
Think fast-paced, collaborative, and always switched on. This team is behind every successful market trade — working closely with traders, tech teams, risk and compliance to get things done right the first time. Whether it’s trade matching, settlement, or regulatory reporting, this crew keeps the wheels turning and the business moving.
What You’ll Be Doing
Every day looks a little different, but here’s some examples:
... - Making sure trades are matched, confirmed, and settled accurately and on time
- Solving problems when things don’t quite go to plan (you’ll be a go-to for finding fixes fast)
- Collaborating with internal teams to improve processes and drive automation
- Keeping an eye on risk and making sure everything meets regulatory standards
- Playing a key role in projects that make the operations world smoother, smarter, and more efficient
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being hands-on, values precision, and likes to work behind the scenes to make a big difference.
What You Bring
This isn’t just about ticking boxes - it’s about bringing the right energy and mindset. Some of the things that help you succeed in this space:
- Experience in market operations or a solid understanding of how the trade lifecycle works
- Commerce or economics degree
- A passion for trades and investments
- Familiarity with products like FX, bonds, and swaps
- Sharp attention to detail and a calm head under pressure
- Strong communication skills — especially when things need to move fast
Why This Role?
This is a chance to grow your career in one of the most important parts of the bank. Based in Sydney’s financial hub, you’ll gain real exposure to global markets and build relationships across trading, technology, and operations. Along the way, there’s plenty of support for your development, whether you're learning the ropes or looking to take the next step.
You’ll also enjoy:
- Access to learning and development opportunities across the business
- Flexible ways of working and a team that genuinely supports each other
- A front-row seat to how markets really work
