- Preferred - Advanced Excel and experience with data-analysis or automation tools (e.g., Alteryx, Python, SQL, VBA, Power BI) to improve reporting accuracy and efficiency.

- Ability to work in a structured, high volume, time sensitive, high risk and demanding environment
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Able to work as part of a team, as well as operate independently
What You’ll Get
- Direct exposure to Fixed Income, Commercial Paper, and Repo workflows front-to-back.
- Regular engagement with trading desks, counterparties, and custodians, meaning real visibility, not a back-office silo.
- The opportunity to help shape process improvements and system enhancements as the team builds out its technology and automation capabilities.
- Participation in firmwide and departmental projects, with a clear line from your day-to-day work to broader operational risk reduction.
How You Work
- You are self-motivated and proactive, taking ownership of projects and issues rather than waiting to be told what's next.
- You stay organized and accurate under pressure, comfortable in a structured, high-volume, time-sensitive, and demanding environment.
- You communicate clearly, verbally and in writing, and you're just as effective operating independently as you are working as part of a team.
- You're a natural problem-solver who partners well across departments, especially Technology, to fix root causes, not just symptoms.
- You bring a genuine interest in the trade lifecycle and financial markets, and you look for ways to use data and automation to work smarter.
