About the Role

This Associate Director role combines end-to-end implementation ownership with deep derivatives domain expertise. You will lead client onboardings onto Derivative Edge, manage multiple concurrent project engagements, mentor junior analysts, and serve as a trusted advisor to bank clients navigating complex derivative portfolio migrations. The role requires equal command of project delivery, data analysis, and capital markets subject matter expertise.

Responsibilities

Own full project delivery for assigned client implementations from SOW execution through go-live and transition to Client Success.
Lead all implementation activities: requirements gathering, solution design, interface and system builds, testing cycles, client training, and final deployment.
Integrate client derivative portfolios and business processes into Derivative Path platforms; support configurations and ensure quality of all deliverables, including process documentation and UAT scripts.
Create and maintain project workplans, milestone tracking, risk logs, status reporting, change management documentation, and engagement economics.
Manage multiple concurrent projects and competing priorities while maintaining delivery quality.
Apply working knowledge of the Software Implementation Lifecycle from Pre-Sales through transition to Client Success.
Proficient use of project management tools such as GuideCX, file-sharing platforms, and RAID log frameworks.
Establish and manage client expectations; develop lasting relationships that enhance the overall client experience.
Collaborate with the Client Success team on analysis and resolution of client inquiries related to derivatives trading, EDGE platform usage, and client business processes.
Provide pre-, during-, and post-implementation support; develop knowledge base documentation related to Derivative Path platforms and procedures.
Apply knowledge of financial derivative structures — Vanilla, Amortizing, Embedded, and Structured Swaps, Cap/Floor, and Swaptions — across Interest Rate, FX, and Commodity asset classes, encompassing Front, Middle, and Back Office processing and reporting.
Understand data structures, file formats, and mapping conventions used in trade capture, portfolio migration, and regulatory reporting (CSV, XML, pipe-delimited, fixed-width).
Demonstrate working knowledge of integrated systems architecture, including how platforms connect and exchange data across SFTP, API, and batch-based interfaces.
Distinguish between static/reference data (counterparties, entities, legal hierarchies, product configurations) and transactional data (trade economics, cash flows, valuations), and understand how each must be structured and maintained throughout the implementation lifecycle.
Apply knowledge of payment processing workflows — ACH/NACHA, wire transfers, and netting — including how payment instructions are generated, transmitted, and reconciled across banking systems.

Requirements

Bachelor's or graduate degree in Business, Finance, or equivalent work experience.
