About the Role

In this Charlotte, NC role, you will be accountable for electronic execution, order exceptions, transaction-cost analysis, venue review, and broker accountability while supporting Eastern Time coverage of pre-market controls, the cash session, and close reconciliation.

Charlotte Operating Focus

The Charlotte opening emphasizes controlled financial operations, risk escalation, and complete decision records. The daily process begins with control checks and ends with reconciliation of decisions, exposures, and unresolved exceptions. Live issues move through a defined escalation path rather than an informal message chain. This opening must keep research evidence, production action, and risk approval distinct even when the market requires a fast response. For this role, that means direct ownership of live orders, implementation shortfall, venue outcomes, and execution exceptions during Eastern Time coverage of pre-market controls, the cash session, and close reconciliation.
