Make Murex MX.3 work where it matters - from implementation into production.

The Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) is a multilateral development bank with an exclusively social mandate from its 43 member countries. We finance investment and provide technical assistance in areas including education, health and affordable housing, with particular attention to vulnerable people and the social dimensions of climate change and the environment.

Technology is fundamental to delivering that mandate securely and effectively. The CEB is implementing Murex MX.3 as its new Capital Markets System and is looking for an experienced Murex Application Specialist to help establish a robust, secure and scalable platform supporting Treasury, Funding, Risk Management and Operations.

The role

This is an opportunity to take technical ownership of Murex across its lifecycle - from implementation and configuration through to integration, release and production support.

You will administer and configure MX.3, ensuring the platform remains available, stable and aligned with business requirements. Working closely with Treasury, Finance, Risk Management and Operations, you will translate business needs into effective system configurations and support new products, processes and regulatory requirements.

Your remit will span product and static data, workflows, market data, accounting, risk and reporting, as well as the interfaces connecting Murex to the Bank's wider technology environment. You will troubleshoot functional and data issues, coordinate releases and deployments, and support testing across development and production environments.

As the platform moves into operation, you will provide second- and third-level support, investigate root causes and develop sustainable solutions to recurring issues. You will also help improve and automate the platform over time, contributing to upgrades, new modules and continuous enhancement.

What you'll need

We're looking for someone who combines strong Murex expertise with an understanding of how capital markets systems need to perform in a live financial environment. You will need:

• strong knowledge of Murex MX.3 configuration and administration , including product and static data, workflows, market data, accounting, risk and reporting, interface monitoring and Datamart components
• proven experience configuring and supporting Murex MX.3 in a banking or financial institution , with a strong understanding of front-to-back trade processing
• a good understanding of SQL and relational databases, system integration concepts and APIs , together with experience analysing functional issues and data inconsistencies
• knowledge of software testing and release management , with experience supporting Murex implementation projects, business change and regulatory developments
• an advanced degree in computer science, information technology, engineering or a related field, with relevant experience in capital markets, treasury, risk management or financial systems.

You should also have a good knowledge of financial instruments including money market, FX, fixed income, derivatives, repos and securities financing transactions, and experience working with business users, vendors and implementation partners in complex financial environments.

You will need excellent command of either English or French, both oral and written, and knowledge of the other, with a commitment to reach a good working level. Knowledge of another CEB Member State language would be an asset.

It would be an advantage

if you have experience with Murex modules covering Treasury and Funding, Front Office, Market Risk, Credit Risk, Collateral Management, Accounting, Operations and Settlements; knowledge of Unix/Linux environments and scripting; or familiarity with implementation methodologies and financial systems architecture.

If you know how to make Murex work not just technically, but reliably for the people and processes that depend on it, this is an opportunity to take that expertise into a major systems transformation at an international development bank.
