Overview:

This opportunity sits within the Post-Trade team of a leading quantitative trading firm, offering a highly analytical and systems-oriented role at the intersection of margin operations, collateral management, and trading infrastructure. The role combines daily execution of margin data management, reconciliation, and dispute resolution with a meaningful platform-building mandate — architecting and maintaining a centralized margin and collateral data platform that supports a high-volume, multi-asset global trading operation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Execute daily collateral functions across margin data management, margin reconciliation, and dispute handling; ensure accuracy and integrity of margin data across counter parties and asset classes
• Partner with internal stakeholders to support margin replication, cost of capital analytics, and reconciliation workflows across the firm's global trading platform
• Architect and maintain a centralized margin and collateral data platform for external margin data storage; design scalable systems and processes that support a high-volume, multi-asset trading operation
• Document and maintain margin mappings and controls; ensure consistent and auditable recordkeeping across all collateral workflows
• Support onboarding of new counter parties; ensure data integration aligns with existing system architecture and internal controls standards
• Stay informed about evolving margin models and broker reporting practices; translate relevant developments into scalable internal systems and process improvements
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to design, optimize, and automate collateral and margin tools; contribute to ongoing automation initiatives across the Post Trade function
