  Primarily the candidate must possess strong domain knowledge of the equities markets, an essential quality needed for this role.

Building and maintaining strong relationships with the business will be a key success factor in this role.
  
  The right person will have a demonstrable ability to guide and drive software development and production support teams to deliver against identified, mutually agreed business objectives.

We need, not just a strong team player, but someone who can build and maintain a great team.
