We recruit for all disciplines related to cross-product post trade and client lifecycle management functions. This includes all downstream process flow through the value chain, in support of both Transaction Banking and Financial Markets. In addition to core operations functions, the ability for financial institutions and Financial Technology companies to maintain or improve their levels of client service delivery has become ever more difficult over time, especially when you consider the challenges they face with rising cost bases, ever evolving technology and mandatory regulatory changes.
Our industry network extends to clients and candidates alike working for Investment and Wholesale Corporate Banks, as well as Broker / Dealers, Clearing Houses, Financial Exchanges, Technology Vendors, Hedge Funds and Asset Managers.
The following functions highlight the experience typical to many of our clients and candidates in this field:
Without exception, all the financial institutions we partner with invest a significant amount of time and energy in delivering programmes of work, both large and small, on improving various aspects of their front to back value chain. Enhanced technology platforms and Cloud deployment enables many firms to transform their front to back workflows, ensuring greater levels of process automation, improving the robustness of risk and control frameworks, improving client delivery through digital platforms, and also ensures more robust levels of compliance by implementing regulatory obligations more effectively.

Mitigating all forms of risk is at the heart of any financial services company and it comes in many different forms whether it be Business, Technology, Finance, Regulatory or Operations focused. In addition to the problems Banks and Funds have in improving their first line of defence governance and control frameworks across all product areas, there are many additional challenges faced by companies large and small. These include the risks attached to their core technology stack, their regulatory compliance framework, balance sheet and liquidity management, and in addition the market has seen a massive push to improve business controls, conduct and supervision in the front office, as well alert and fails management. Trevose Partners successfully recruits across the full scope of risk and compliance disciplines to include:
Trevose Partners’ reputation as a broad-based financial services recruiter led naturally to us expanding into technology. Many of our key clients own the technology budget at their organisations which has allowed us to add significant value as a proven partners who can support all areas of their technology function. Business Continuity and Information Security are areas of major growth with demand coming from firms of all sizes. Firms increasingly focus on the need to mitigate any disruption to internal systems and client services that may result from a systems failure, security breach or outside factor such as a weather event or pandemic.
Trevose Partners has successfully placed candidates in positions supporting a variety of front to back technology platforms to include Execution, Middleware, and Post Trade systems, as well as Cloud based and On-Premise software solutions which are being developed by numerous technology houses and vendors.

For financial technology companies to operate effectively, they must ensure there is a strong bond between those who build their solutions and those who sell them. In general terms, many Sales Executives are strong at building relationships with client prospects and managing deal pipelines, but to their own admission, may not always have a granular understanding of the solutions they are selling.
In a similar vein, many of the extremely talented Technologists whose job it is to cut code and build the actual software engine, are not always the best at delivering the right message to clients. This is where strong candidates in Product and Pre-Sales step in, building a strong conduit between technology and sales and adding genuine value to the revenue pipeline. It is because of this that the best Technical Pre-Sales are in such high demand from our clients globally.
A strong, commercial finance function is the key to any business, and it is therefore crucial that clients are able to identify qualified candidates across a range of business-critical roles. Ranging in seniority from CFO and Finance Director to Finance Managers and FP&A; candidates with the ability to assist a business to plan, manage costs and make well informed commercial decisions are always in demand regardless of the business unit.
Trevose Partners places candidates across the full range of Finance & Accounting Functions:
One of the common denominators among clients is to establish sales or client aligned teams that can drive new revenue generation as well as ensuring that client retention rates remain high year on year. We are often approached to hire sales and relationship management candidates who can help an organisation to provide a service across multiple jurisdictions either from one central location or with teams located in region. As well as sourcing candidates with technical skills in specific business areas Trevose Partners also identifies those who are multilingual or who have developed a network within a particular market segment that the client wishes to access.
Although the titles might be interchangeable the requirements for Sales and Relationship Management candidates vary greatly from product to product. Below is a sample of some of the areas in which we have enjoyed success
