Sobre el puesto
The Customer Comes First (Service Excellence):
Deliver proactive, "white-glove" support to traders and front-office staff, anticipating technical needs before they impact market participation.
Maintain a 100% uptime mentality for Bloomberg, Eikon, and execution platforms, treating every technical hurdle as a priority for the bank's clients.
We Think Big (Innovation & Ambition):
Identify opportunities to automate manual workflows on the trading floor, pushing the boundaries of traditional support to increase operational speed.
Continuously seek out and pilot new hardware or software solutions that provide our traders with a competitive edge in data visualization and low-latency performance.
We Are One Team (Collaboration & Integrity):
Break down silos by collaborating seamlessly with Network, Security, and Global Engineering teams to resolve complex infrastructure issues.
Share knowledge and mentor junior analysts, ensuring the entire support ecosystem grows stronger and more resilient together.
Mission-Critical Infrastructure:

Resilient Incident Management:
Lead the immediate response to real-time outages during high-volatility periods, maintaining composure and clear communication in line with BBVA’s commitment to transparency and excellence.
Operational Leadership & Queue Management:

• Queue Optimization: Monitor real-time ticket volumes and team distribution to prevent bottlenecks, ensuring that "Customer Comes First" remains a reality, not just a slogan.

Advanced Technical Escalation (2nd & 3rd Line):
• Expert Troubleshooting: Serve as the final point of escalation for complex technical issues involving high-spec trading hardware, OS kernel errors, and intricate market data connectivity.
• Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead the post-incident review process for any major trade-floor outages, identifying long-term fixes to ensure "Thinking Big" leads to more resilient systems.
• Vendor Management: Coordinate directly with 3rd-party providers (Bloomberg, Refinitiv, IPC) to resolve deep-seated technical bugs or hardware failures.
Management Reporting & Governance:
• Performance Metrics: Develop and present weekly/monthly KPIs to senior leadership, focusing on resolution times, recurring issues, and team capacity.
• Compliance & Security: Ensure all team actions and desktop configurations align with BBVA’s global security standards and financial regulatory requirements.
• Asset Lifecycle Management: Maintain an accurate inventory of trading floor hardware and manage the budget for equipment refreshes and upgrades.
Additional Qualifications for Team Lead:
• Leadership Experience: 2+ years of experience leading a technical team or acting as a Senior/Lead in a high-stakes environment.
• Analytical Mindset: Proficiency in using ITSM tools (like ServiceNow or Jira) to pull data and create meaningful reports for stakeholders.
