PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

Operations and/or compliance-oriented Business Analyst background.

Experience within middle-office trading environments.

Hedge fund-related experience.

Global Markets or broader capital-markets experience.

Experience operating at the intersection of trading, operations, compliance, and business functions.

Experience within CIB or another complex institutional banking environment.

Ability and interest in potentially converting to a full-time employee, should an opportunity become available.

REGULATORY EXPERIENCE

Candidates may have regulatory or compliance experience, but it should complement their broader business, markets, trading, and middle-office background rather than define their overall experience.

Candidates whose backgrounds are concentrated primarily on downstream regulatory reporting activities, such as FR Y-14 or CCAR, without meaningful front-half trading/business and middle-office exposure, are not the target profile.

The primary need is someone who understands the business and operational environment surrounding market and trading activity and has experience operating closer to the business.
