AddressISDA Negotiator
Glasgow
As a Barclays ISDA Negotiator, you will have a unique opportunity to be accountable for drafting, negotiating, and executing various master trading documentation in support of the Barclays Markets business. For this role, you will be recognised as a subject matter expert on both the ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) Master Agreements managed by GCS (Global Contract Services).
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, established in 1690, with a legacy of success, quality, and innovation. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.

Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager.
