• Maintain daily communication throughout the trade lifecycle with internal and external partners, escalating changes, risks, and issues as needed.
• Conduct post-trade review (allocation validation, exception management, and execution-quality inputs) and document key learnings.
• Drive initiatives to enhance investment offerings and implementation, including improved overlay management, lower costs, operating efficiencies, and deepen managed platform.

Required Qualifications, Skills and Capabilities

• 7–12 years of experience in financial services; wealth management/private banking experience preferred.
• Strong understanding of investment solutions and demonstrated interest in portfolio management and markets.
