About the Role
In this New York, NY role, you will be accountable for continuous-market coverage, venue and counterparty exposure, funding, custody constraints, and weekend controls while supporting early U.S. market preparation and the full Eastern Time cash session. The work requires direct communication, explicit limits, and records that remain useful after market conditions change.
New York Operating Focus
The New York opening emphasizes fast morning escalation, precise market-open review, and complete end-of-day records. Daily work begins before the cash open with overnight-gap review, scheduled-event checks, and clear escalation ownership. Opening and closing auctions receive separate analysis because each can create different liquidity and execution conditions. Post-close records must explain what changed, what remained uncertain, and which issue carries into the next session. For this role, that means direct ownership of continuous-market exposure, fragmented liquidity, venue risk, and shift handoffs during early U.S. market preparation and the full Eastern Time cash session.
