  • Monitor trade settlement and connect brokers and custodians to ensure delivery of shares and cash
  • Provide our allocation files to our custodians and reconciling trade details between brokers and custodians
  • Build and learn trade-specific technology, including internal and third-party applications (including the Omgeo Suite, Alliance Lite, SWIFT)
  • Look for opportunities to improve efficiency and accuracy and use technology solutions to refine trading processes

Your Qualifications:

  • Eligible for a discretionary bonus based on firm and individual performance
