Schonfeld is looking for a senior regional lead to own the APAC trading technology agenda. Reporting directly to the Head of Portfolio Management & Trading Solutions in London, you will be the most senior presence of the Portfolio Management & Trading Solutions (PMATS) team in Asia - the group responsible for the firm’s trading technology ecosystem across onboarding, platform support, front office technology, and execution strategy.

This is a front-office-facing role where front office trading requirements meet trading technology. You will be the person a COO, Portfolio Manager or Head of Trading turns to when they need a credible, trusted technology partner - someone who understands how discretionary and systematic strategies operate, speaks the language of APAC market structure, and can navigate complex cross-functional initiatives from inception to delivery.

Our APAC user base spans discretionary and semi-systematic equity focused Portfolio Managers through to systematic strategies, with a growing Fixed Income and FX presence in the region. Given the time zone spread across London and New York, you will travel to both offices periodically - typically two to three times a year - to stay connected to the global PMATS leadership team and contribute to firm-wide platform strategy.

• Partner with TPS (Trade & Platform Support) and FOT (Front Office Technology) leads in APAC to maintain high-quality, follow-the-sun coverage

Cross-Functional Initiative Delivery

• Lead and coordinate cross-functional technology initiatives in APAC - complex onboardings, system migrations, EMS/OMS integrations, and regulatory-driven changes
• Manage dependencies across internal technology teams and external vendors to keep programmes on track
• Drive the APAC onboarding agenda - new Portfolio Managers, new strategies, new markets - working closely with global onboarding teams, operations, compliance and treasury to ensure smooth launches

Strategy & Roadmap Input

• Contribute to PMATS’s global platform strategy, bringing an APAC-first perspective on market structure, latency requirements, and regional regulatory constraints
• Identify gaps between current capabilities and business needs in the region and develop clear proposals for how to close them
• Work with the global PMATS leadership on strategic initiatives including execution stack evolution, EMS/OMS assessment, and platform consolidation

What You’ll Bring

What you need:

• 10+ years of experience in institutional financial services technology - buy-side, sell-side, or vendor - in roles that required direct, senior engagement with front-office stakeholders
• Deep understanding of electronic trading workflows across equities, futures, and derivatives - order lifecycle, EMS/OMS architecture, execution management, and market microstructure
• Demonstrated track record of managing and delivering complex, cross-functional technology programmes in a multi-stakeholder environment
• Strong commercial awareness - you understand what Portfolio Managers and COOs actually care about and can translate business requirements into technology outcomes without needing constant direction
• Excellent relationship and communication skills - you are comfortable presenting to senior management, challenging constructively, and building trust quickly across cultural and organizational boundaries
• Solid familiarity with APAC market structure across key equity and derivatives markets including Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, India, Taiwan, and Australia
