Key responsibilities include:

Review orders and evaluate risk on trades flagged for review, approving, rejecting, or escalating per policy. Manage not-held orders via algo strategies or RFQ. Serve as the senior desk point of contact for advisor questions on orders, executions, and market events.
**Fixed Income Order Flow**: Work fixed income order flow including treasuries, municipals, corporates, and brokered CDs across dealers and electronic venues. Support advisor questions on bond availability, pricing, yield, and order status. Flag and resolve pricing and settlement exceptions.
**Credit Risk Support**: Execute liquidations required to satisfy margin calls and debit obligations. Enforce PDT, Good Faith, and Freeride restrictions. Field buying power and restriction questions from advisors and route risk decisions appropriately.
**Trade Lifecycle & Breaks**: Oversee trade break research and resolution, cancels and rebills, and trade error handling. Maintain the trade error account process including documentation, approval, and loss tracking. Ensure clean handoffs between desk, clearing, and settlement workflows.
**Regulatory & Control**: Execute daily desk activity in compliance with SEC, FINRA, MSRB, and exchange rules. Maintain documentation and exception evidence for desk workflows.
**Build & Scale**: Partner with Product and Engineering on trading feature buildout, testing, and launch as margin, options, and fixed income capabilities expand.
This role offers breadth across asset classes, daily ownership of desk operations at a fast-growing custodian, and a clear path toward people leadership.
