2127668 Senior Analyst, Derivatives Trading Operations
The Role
The Derivatives Trading Operations Senior Analyst is a newly envisioned role within Investment Services, designed to provide dedicated front office operational support for Liquid Alternatives trading on the Equity Alternatives desk. This role will partner with the Liquid Alts Portfolio Services team to focus on ensuring seamless execution and lifecycle management of Liquid Alts derivative flows.
The successful candidate will manage all aspects of pre-trade and post-trade processing, including:
- Security reference data creation and validation across listed and OTC instruments
- Trade booking, pricing validation, and economics confirmation across ARP swaps, futures, listed options, equity swaps, IRS, CDS, and new OTC products planned for 2026
- Coordination and communication with external dealers, prime brokers, and administrators
- Lifecycle event monitoring (maturities, resets, rolls, novations, corporate actions, option exercises/assignments, and collateral)
This role requires deep cross-system knowledge, broad access across Asset Management platforms, and strong coordination skills with trading desks, the Fidelity Fund Investment Operations Middle Office, technology, and external counterparties to accelerate workflows, reduce reliance on ad hoc operational coverage, and support the scaling of our Liquid Alts capabilities.
The Expertise and Skills You Bring

- CFA, CAIA, or progress toward certification preferred
- Strong understanding of OTC derivatives (Equity TRS, IRS, CDS, Swaptions, OTC Options, etc.) and alternative investment structures
- Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities across desks, independently and with urgency
- Familiarity with derivative lifecycle events, including resets, settlements, collateral, clearing, pricing, corporate actions, and reference data
- Proven ability to navigate and integrate across multiple Asset Management systems (OMS/EMS, valuation systems, reconciliation tools, middle-office utilities)
- Strong project management and end-to-end process design skills
- Excellent communication, cross-team coordination, and relationship-building abilities
The Successful Candidate Will
- Serve as key resource to Trading, Liquid Alts Investment Services, and Fidelity Fund Investment Operations
- Coordinate and lead cross-company trading initiatives to support Liquid Alts trade flows
- Manage pre-trade and post-trade processes, including trade booking validation and security reference setup
- Communicate externally with trading/financing counterparties to ensure accuracy and address ad hoc inquiries
- Lead onboarding and support for new instruments and capabilities, particularly OTC derivatives
- Participate in implementation strategy to enable effective and efficient processes for Liquid Alt products
- Perform impact assessments, resolve operational issues, and develop workflow documentation
