Position Summary:
My client is looking for an individual who can act in a hands-on capacity
within the team responsible for firm's advanced investment data products.
These are key technologies used by the firm's Fixed Income portfolio
management applications.
This individual will be expected to take on moderate to complex projects,
initiatives and production issues that originate from our business or from
other application teams. It is expected that this individual will become
knowledgeable enough in this domain, both technically as well as from a
business perspective, so that he/she can take an active role in owning
important outcomes, solving complex problems or directing other team members
in doing so themselves. This individual will also be heavily involved in
designing, supporting, improving, and developing data validation and
productivity methods and processes within this area and supervising other
team members who are engaged in analysis, development, QA and support.
Specifically, this individual will acquire expert-level knowledge of the
product suite's functionality, design, interfaces, reconciliation and
validation processes and other important aspects of the product. It is
expected that this individual will become a thought leader and major
contributor to key strategic initiatives currently in progress such as the
Investment Book of Record project. On a more day-to-day basis, this
individual will also be responsible for managing and coordinating production
releases and work closely with the product's stakeholders on release items.
Responsibilities:
* Work with QA/Analyst/Development team members to oversee and
approve their work, monitor and promote quality of output, ensure that
projects and tasks are being performed according to standards and in
conformity with business requirements, and identify areas for cross training
and knowledge sharing among team members.
* This is a very senior role and as such, it is expected that the
individual will have a high degree of ownership over important outcomes such
as production stability and integrity. At times, this individual may be
expected to attend to urgent production matters during evening, overnight
and weekend hours.
* Some specific expectation for this role include advanced
financial instrument modeling, writing business requirements and design
specifications, representing our team in a senior capacity in several
internal venues, and providing solutions to complex business problems.
* Establish and maintain effective client relationships and help
guide the team in setting priorities for completion of requests or
resolution of issues.
* Manage and facilitate implementation of business solutions aimed
at investment process efficiency, data quality improvements and simplifying
investor work flow.
* Oversee the resolution of moderate to complex problems that
originate from members of the business as well as related application teams.
Required Skills and Competencies:
* Minimum of three years of experience in investment industry front
office applications or investment management data technologies.
* Strong understanding of various financial instruments including
complex derivative securities.
* Demonstrated experience in business analysis for medium to large
initiatives.
* Excellent communication (verbal and written) skills is an
absolute must. This individual will need to possess the ability to convey
complex concepts and ideas in a manner that can influence important business
outcomes.
* Motivated, agile and able to work independently in a fast paced
team oriented environment. Committed to deliver projects on time and
overcome obstacles.
* High attention to detail and strong commitment to quality is
absolutely essential.
* Ability to demonstrate a high degree of ownership of outcomes and
dedication to our mission.
* Working knowledge of ANSI SQL with an RDBMS like Oracle is a
must.
* Demonstrate strong client focus and relationship management
skills.
* Bachelor's degree from a minimum requirement. An advanced degree
is preferred.
* Holding a CFA charter or working toward a CFA designation would
be considered a plus.
Keys to this Position:
1. Strong Systems Analyst skills are required.
2. Domain knowledge: Strong knowledge of Investment workflow that includes
multiple asset classes (fixed income, equities, alternatives, etc.)
3. SQL skills are required to be able to extract data from the database.
4. Technical Leadership skills are required.
5. Excellent communication skills are required.
6. A CFA or progress towards a CFA is highly desired.
