Work closely with FinTech product strategy to develop digital assets network services.
Manage all aspects of product execution—from scoping (products, legal agreements, collateral assets, custodians, growth opportunities) through target operating model design, business requirements definition, solution validation, UAT, and pilot/pre-production to production launch—ensuring adherence to timelines, budgets, and quality standards.

Hands-on familiarity with collateral management systems and platforms (e.g., Calypso, Colline, Acadia/Margin Manager, TriOptima/TriResolve).
Experience with collateral optimization and mobilization strategies to improve funding efficiency and capital usage across TradFi and digital collateral.
Solid understanding of triparty collateral management flows and the roles of triparty agents, custodians, and clearing banks.
Knowledge of bilateral, triparty, and sponsored collateral structures and how collateral is allocated, held, and optimized across them.
Awareness of the operational and technology requirements needed to support triparty connectivity and interoperability.
Understanding of custody, asset servicing, settlement, and fund administration and how these functions interact with collateral operations.
Experience and expertise with the securities lifecycle from trade through settlement and the associated market infrastructure.
