About the Role

The Charlotte, NC position owns allocation methods, portfolio constraints, concentration limits, turnover controls, and stress diagnostics. Its working schedule covers Eastern Time coverage of pre-market controls, the cash session, and close reconciliation. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.

Charlotte Operating Focus

The Charlotte opening emphasizes controlled financial operations, risk escalation, and complete decision records. The daily process begins with control checks and ends with reconciliation of decisions, exposures, and unresolved exceptions. Live issues move through a defined escalation path rather than an informal message chain. This opening must keep research evidence, production action, and risk approval distinct even when the market requires a fast response. For this role, that means direct ownership of portfolio constraints, exposure diagnostics, and stress review during Eastern Time coverage of pre-market controls, the cash session, and close reconciliation.

First Review Cycle

The initial Charlotte, NC review combines Eastern Time coverage of pre-market controls, the cash session, and close reconciliation with a controlled examination of portfolio constraints, exposure diagnostics, and stress review. Each material observation needs a source, a time, and a defined owner. The first evidence set will cover this task: Measure turnover, capacity, and stress behavior. The second will cover this task: Create transparent diagnostics for portfolio decisions. The Charlotte opening emphasizes controlled financial operations, risk escalation, and complete decision records. Each material deviation receives a named follow-up owner. The final note will connect the outcome to allocation methods, portfolio constraints, concentration limits, turnover controls, and stress diagnostics and give another specialist enough detail to challenge the decision without a separate meeting.

Responsibilities

• Develop allocation and risk-budgeting methods
• Model factor, sector, liquidity, and concentration constraints
• Measure turnover, capacity, and stress behavior
• Create transparent diagnostics for portfolio decisions
• Own portfolio constraints, exposure diagnostics, and stress review during Eastern Time coverage of pre-market controls, the cash session, and close reconciliation.

Required Qualifications

• Experience with transaction-cost-aware optimization and scenario analysis

• 401(k) plan with company matching
• Flexible paid time off and company holidays
