At Julius Baer, we celebrate and value the individual qualities you bring, enabling you to be impactful, to be entrepreneurial, to be empowered, and to create value beyond wealth. Let’s shape the future of wealth management together.

We’re seeking a highly experienced and driven Product Owner to lead the evolution of our mission-critical Front Arena platforms across global equities and equity derivatives trading. In this pivotal role within Global Markets, you’ll sit at the intersection of technology, trading, and risk, shaping the strategic direction and delivery of best-in-class trading, analytics, and risk management solutions.

With deep roots in financial markets and a proven ability to bridge complex stakeholder needs, you'll drive the end-to-end product lifecycle, from defining the roadmap to overseeing agile delivery and ensuring rigorous quality assurance. You’ll collaborate closely with traders, quants, risk managers, and tech teams across Zurich, Singapore and Mumbai, translating front-office demands into powerful, scalable solutions that power our market-making and trading activities.

We're looking for a strong team player who combines a decade-long expertise in Front Arena, hands-on experience in equity derivatives trading environments, and exceptional stakeholder management skills, someone who speaks both ‘trader’ and ‘developer’ and can navigate high-pressure conversations with confidence and precision.

This is more than a product role; it’s a chance to shape how one of the leading wealth managers trades and manages risk in fast-moving global markets. If you thrive in dynamic, collaborative settings and want to leave a tangible impact on our trading infrastructure, we want to hear from you.
