Operational & Control Discipline
Use platforms such as Bloomberg, Apex, Helix, and BNY Mellon AccessEdge to support daily processing. Coordinate across Operations, Treasury, and Middle Office to ensure trades settle accurately through Fed, DTC, or Tri‑Party agents, maintaining strict compliance with internal policies and broker‑dealer regulatory obligations (e.g., FINRA Series 7/63 where required).

Funding & Market Analysis
Assess short‑term funding conditions, rate dynamics, and collateral availability to help optimize the bank’s secured funding costs and balance‑sheet positioning. Provide analytical support to senior traders during periods of market volatility or collateral shifts.

Education
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related discipline.

Technical Skills
Proficiency in Bloomberg and Repo/Financing platforms (Apex, Helix, AccessEdge), with strong Excel skills (e.g., pivot tables, formulas; VBA a plus).
