About the Role

The Los Angeles, CA position owns live cross-asset exposure, instrument-specific mechanics, funding, rolls, execution, and incident controls. Its working schedule covers Pacific Time coverage of the U.S. close and the after-hours research handoff. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.

Los Angeles Operating Focus

The Los Angeles opening emphasizes clean transfers from East Coast decisions into late-session and post-close analysis. The schedule gives this opening direct ownership of the closing auction, late-session liquidity changes, and earnings or corporate events released after the U.S. close. Morning overlap with Eastern Time is reserved for decisions that need live discussion. Later work must leave a complete record for the next pre-market review. For this role, that means direct ownership of cross-asset exposure, funding and roll events, execution quality, and venue-specific risk during Pacific Time coverage of the U.S. close and the after-hours research handoff.

First Review Cycle

For the first complete work cycle in Los Angeles, CA, you will use Pacific Time coverage of the U.S. close and the after-hours research handoff to test how the team measures and escalates changes in cross-asset exposure, funding and roll events, execution quality, and venue-specific risk. The cycle requires this task: Research cross-asset relationships without forcing unstable correlations. A separate check covers this task: Lead incident review and operating-control improvements. The Los Angeles opening emphasizes clean transfers from East Coast decisions into late-session and post-close analysis. Neither check can rely only on an informal message or market story. At the end of the cycle, you will show how the evidence supports or challenges live cross-asset exposure, instrument-specific mechanics, funding, rolls, execution, and incident controls. Open questions stay visible until another review resolves them.

  • Manage live exposures and instrument-specific risk limits
  • Review execution quality, funding, rolls, and calendar effects
