VP Senior Negotiator

Job Description

This is a key hire into the largest legal sub-team, supporting the bank’s derivatives legal function. The successful candidate will focus on negotiating ISDA Master Agreements and related documentation to support global trading activity across the bank’s international client base.

This position is ideally based in Glasgow, where the successful candidate will report to a VP-level lawyer already based in the city. While the role sits within an international team with coverage across EMEA and beyond, there is a strong preference to build senior capability locally in Glasgow. You will manage your own portfolio of trading relationships, support junior team members as a senior peer, and engage in occasional project work.

This position is suited to candidates with a minimum of 5 years’ experience negotiating master trading documentation, particularly ISDA agreements. Prior experience in banking, asset management, or broker-dealer environments is essential. Strong stakeholder engagement skills, a confident but approachable manner, and a solid understanding of legal and regulatory frameworks are required. The team values quiet confidence, collaboration, and a positive, solutions-focused approach. Fluency in French, Italian, or Spanish is a bonus, but not required.

This is a full-time role with a hybrid working model (3 days per week in-office). The firm offers a collaborative and diverse culture, and a supportive legal team with long-standing team members across Glasgow, Birmingham, and London. If this position is of interest, please do not hesitate to contact either Cameron or Teddie for an initial and confidential discussion. (Assignment 17489)
