About the Role

The New York, NY position owns data-source review from provenance and lawful use through leakage-resistant testing and ongoing monitoring.

New York Operating Focus

The New York opening emphasizes fast morning escalation, precise market-open review, and complete end-of-day records.

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 data provenance, availability timing, vendor quality, and leakage controls during early U.S. market preparation and the full Eastern Time cash session.
