You will partner with Operations, Fund Accounting, and Technology teams to automate processes related to trade files, price feeds, reconciliations, market data, and system integrations.

Key Responsibilities

ETL Development & Integration

• Design, develop, and enhance ETL processes for operational data flows (trade files, price files, security masters, positions, reconciliations).
• Integrate client‑provided trade/price files into internal systems using ETL tools.
• Implement and test new integrations based on business and client requirements.
• Monitor ETL workflows, handle failures, and ensure timely delivery of critical data.

Automation & Process Improvement

• Automate repetitive operations tasks using SQL, VBA, Advanced Excel, macros, scripts, or ETL workflows.
• Build reusable data pipelines to reduce manual intervention across trade and pricing workflows.
• Identify process gaps and deliver scalable automation solutions.

• Work to resolve breaks, mismatches, and exceptions across trade, position, and pricing workflows.
• Collaborate with Fund Accounting teams (Geneva / Paxus) for data validation and troubleshooting.

Stakeholder Collaboration & Documentation

• Gather requirements from Operations, Product, and Integration teams.
• Translate functional needs into technical ETL/automation solutions.
• Maintain documentation, SOPs, workflow diagrams, and technical user guides.
• Communicate clearly with non‑technical users.

Required Skills & Expertise

Technical

• Mandatory hands‑on experience with an ETL tool (Informatica, Alteryx, SSIS, Talend, etc.).
• Strong SQL, VBA, and Advanced Excel.
• Experience in automation projects (macros, workflow automation, scripting).
• Understanding of market data platforms (Bloomberg, Refinitiv).
• Exposure to Fund Accounting systems such as Geneva / Paxus (preferred but not mandatory).

Domain

• Good understanding of trade lifecycle workflows (trade capture, affirmation, settlement).
• Understanding of pricing workflows (security pricing, market data validation, price exceptions).

• Good communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to work under pressure and adapt to shifting priorities.
• Collaborative team player with ownership mindset.

Candidate Profile (Ideal Fit)

• 3–5 years of experience in ETL automation, trade/price operations, or middle office technology roles.
• Hands‑on automation mindset rather than pure operational processing.
• Capable of building workflows to reduce manual tasks across trade, price, and reconciliations.
• Strong data handling and troubleshooting skills.
