- Make clear, data-informed tradeoff decisions and align stakeholders across two organizations
- Serve as the go-to authority on the US futures regulated space, including FCM operations, the FCM–DCO–DCM relationship, clearing, settlement, margin, and client reporting, and understand how each constrains or enables new products
- Partner with Compliance and Legal to navigate product classification, structural, and regulatory questions where guidance is still evolving, translating those outcomes into product direction
- Maintain deep, current expertise as the regulatory and market structure landscape evolv
