Process & Program Development 

• Help enhance trade workflows, automation, and reporting systems for greater scale and transparency. 
• Monitor margin, collateral, and exposure to ensure adherence to client risk guidelines. 
• Contribute to the build-out of data tools that connect portfolio performance, risk, and tax impact. 

Collaboration & Oversight 

• Partner closely with the Investment Team, Operations, and Compliance to maintain accuracy and control. 
• Provide trading insight and feedback to inform future strategy and platform improvements.
