- Monitor daily and recurring trading workflows, reports, and quality controls to assess process health, data accuracy, workflow exceptions, and operational risk.
- Review operational data to identify exceptions, trends, recurring issues, and areas requiring follow-up.
- Maintain dashboards, scorecards, and recurring reporting that provide visibility into order generation, workflow adherence, SLA performance, exception trends, rebalancing activity, and control effectiveness.
- Apply trading knowledge to confirm that reports, alerts, and controls reflect expected business outcomes and documented operating procedures.
- Investigate anomalies and quality issues, document findings, assess impact, and coordinate with the appropriate teams to support resolution.
- Support business testing and validation of reporting, workflow, configuration, or system changes by executing test scenarios, reviewing outputs, and documenting results.
- Monitor the effectiveness of controls and workflows over time and escalate process risks, data issues, SLA concerns, or workflow breakdowns.
- Prepare clear summaries, visuals, and presentations for trading, operations, technical partners, and leadership.
- Maintain monitoring procedures, metric definitions, control documentation, and standard operating procedures.
- Identify practical opportunities to reduce manual effort, strengthen controls, and improve consistency and efficiency across trading workflows.
- Work cross-functionally with trading, operations, technology, and other partners to support continuous improvement and shared operational outcomes.
Knowledge, Skills, Abilities:
- Practical understanding of trading workflows, including order generation, rebalancing, allocations, model or portfolio data, restrictions, exceptions, and operational controls.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to investigate breaks, reconcile information, and identify patterns or recurring issues.
- Working proficiency in Excel, including pivot tables, lookups, formulas, filters, and data validation.
- Technical aptitude and curiosity, with comfort learning new systems, working with structured data, and partnering with technical teams.
- Experience using recurring reports, dashboards, or operational metrics to monitor performance and support decision-making.
- Experience participating in user acceptance testing, business validation, quality review, or implementation support for workflow or system changes.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain issues, findings, and recommended next steps.
- Ability to manage competing priorities, work independently, and exercise sound judgment in a fast-paced environment.
