• Assume full ownership of the firm’s daily middle office and operations functions, ensuring the accuracy, timeliness, and integrity of all post-trade activities
• Serve as the primary escalation point for traders on all trade-related issues, breaks, and position queries, providing timely and effective resolutions
• Develop and mentor the existing Middle Office team, upskilling them to manage the new platform and thrive in a more sophisticated, exception-based environment
• Continuously evaluate and drive improvements for operational systems, processes, and internal controls to enhance efficiency and mitigate risk
