About the Role

This will include the reconciliation and instruction of daily margin requirements, processing of accounting postings, and post-value control reconciliations. The Analyst will work closely with our brokers, vendors, service providers, client relationship teams, trading, and technology to ensure timely trade capture in multiple internal systems, processing of lifecycle events, responding to client inquiries, and troubleshooting critical issues.

They will be involved in various projects by performing user acceptance testing and assisting with other implementation tasks. While the Analyst will work in a team-oriented environment, many projects will be self-directed, often under intense deadline pressures.
