• Calculate and substantiate daily P&L across multiple asset types, ensuring valuation methodologies are applied consistently and correctly.
• Investigate and resolve trade breaks, valuation discrepancies, and settlement issues, identifying root causes.
• Build and maintain Python-based tools and notebooks to automate recurring reconciliation, reporting, and analysis workflows.
• Query and manage data across internal databases to support reconciliation, reporting, and ad hoc analysis.
• Synthesize complex, ambiguous situations, including breaks spanning multiple venues, counterparties, or asset types, into clear, streamlined deliverables for traders and senior management.

• Gather requirements and data from various stakeholders (Trading, Finance, Risk, Technology) to identify issues and improve Mid Office processes.

Your Skills and Experience: 

• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, STEM, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience).

• Exceptional attention to detail and a high bar for data accuracy.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
