Our client is a large global financial services and corporate investment banking institution with a major presence across capital markets, sales and trading, treasury services, research, strategic advisory, and institutional banking. The organization operates in a highly regulated, performance-sensitive enterprise technology environment supporting complex trading, risk, operations, finance, and regulatory workflows.
Our client is seeking a highly senior, hands-on technical transformation leader to help drive a major Murex platform modernization and infrastructure transformation program. This is a critical leadership role within a funded, multi-tier initiative focused on stabilizing, modernizing, and redesigning the infrastructure foundation supporting a Murex derivatives trading platform.
This is not a traditional project management role. The successful candidate must bring deep technical credibility, direct Murex experience, and the ability to operate as a senior technical leader across infrastructure, engineering, database, Murex, vendor, and business teams. This individual will serve as a key technical partner to senior platform leadership, helping define what is possible, challenge assumptions, guide execution, and ensure the transformation is architected and delivered in a way that supports long-term performance, scalability, resilience, and operational stability.
The Senior Murex Infrastructure Transformation Leader will own the infrastructure transformation workstream for a major Murex modernization program. This individual will drive end-to-end execution from requirements and current-state assessment through target-state design, deployment, migration, cutover, stabilization, and ongoing operational readiness.
The role requires a rare combination of Murex platform knowledge, infrastructure architecture depth, technical leadership, transformation execution, and senior stakeholder credibility. While dedicated subject matter experts will support specific infrastructure, storage, database, and application areas, this leader must be technical enough to direct, challenge, synthesize, and make decisions across those domains.
The ideal candidate is a senior Murex technical transformation leader who has helped modernize, stabilize, migrate, upgrade, or redesign Murex / MX.3 environments in a major financial services or capital markets setting. This person should be comfortable operating as a true technical partner to senior platform leadership: technical enough to earn credibility with architects, engineers, infrastructure SMEs, database teams, and Murex specialists, while senior enough to drive alignment, decisions, execution, and transformation outcomes across a complex enterprise program.
A strong candidate will have direct Murex infrastructure or environment experience, strong enterprise infrastructure judgment, familiarity with storage and resiliency design, and the ability to lead a demanding modernization effort where technical depth, foresight, ownership, and precision are essential.
