• Maintain the firm’s global trading exposures within predefined company limits (MRCR, Risk and P&L).
• Collaborate with the Financial Risk Management team to develop a strong understanding of market, credit, and liquidity risk across products.
• Apply a data-driven approach to all strategy decisions using Python and other analytical tools to extract insights and support improvements.
• Monitor and analyse all external trading costs, identifying significant changes and suggesting cost-saving opportunities.
• Track the market impact of hedge executions and ensure full compliance with relevant exchange rules.
• Review client activity and system behaviour for risks to revenue, working alongside Sales and Financial Risk teams to address any issues.
• Regularly assess the firm's best execution obligations — reviewing reports daily and making adjustments to pricing configurations as needed.
