About this role

▸about Flow Traders — company background

Flow Traders is looking for an experienced Operations Specialist to join our APAC team in Hong Kong. The ideal candidate is analytically strong, proactive, and motivated to work in a fast-paced trading environment. This is a unique opportunity to join a leading proprietary trading firm where operational excellence, automation, and continuous improvement are at the core of how we work.

The Operations team is responsible for trade lifecycle management, reconciliations, settlement, and control processes that directly support our trading desks. We are building a team that goes beyond traditional mid/back-office execution: we expect our specialists to deeply understand process flows and business logic, design better solutions, and leverage AI and other tools to implement them. What matters most is the ability to analyse how things work, identify what should change, and manage the migration.

The role sits within our broader first-line controls function, which encompasses our traditional operations function and other First-Line controls, trade reporting, and data management. As we continue to integrate and develop this function, there are opportunities to broaden your scope beyond traditional operations into these adjacent areas, offering a varied and rewarding career path for the right candidate.

What You Will Do

Perform daily trade reconciliations, position monitoring, P&L attribution, and cash/cost reconciliation across multiple asset classes and prime brokers

Investigate and resolve trade breaks, settlement issues, and corporate action events in a timely manner, liaising with counterparties, custodians, and prime brokers

Analyse existing operational processes end-to-end, map business logic and data flows, and design improved solutions that reduce manual effort and error rates
