• Perform oversight of vendors for any outsourced derivative activities and processes, including trade capture, confirmation, settlement, variation margin, reporting, and collateral.
• Resolve collateral disputes in a timely fashion, escalating potential regulatory breaches to management, and work with pricing to overcome pricing gaps/issues.
• Understand the regulatory landscape impacting derivatives globally and manage our business to stay compliant with global regulations, escalating any potential breaches.

• Must have the ability to analyze numerical data, including a working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, and be able to work within a continuous process improvement culture.
• A Bachelor’s Degree in accounting, economics, finance, math or related field or a combination of education, training and industry experience that provides the required knowledge and skills.
