The above role will ultimately require the individual to learn and understand the JSE trading interfaces for the different markets i.e. Equity Market, Equity and Commodities Derivatives and Interest Rate and Currencies Derivatives Market, and will be required to support various JSE business systems by understanding not only the application functionality, but also the business aspects relating to these applications e.g. the JSE’s back office application BDA.

This position is suitable for a very dynamic, service orientated individual with a passion for service-delivery. The person must be able to work shifts as the support desk is available to clients Monday to Friday from 06h30 to 19h00 each business day.
