+ Maintain deep fluency in CME/ICE rulebooks, trading platform requirements, and financial trading infrastructure.
+ Oversee trade entry and unwind processes for both hedge and speculative positions, ensuring disciplined execution within risk thresholds.
Analytics & Pricing Insight
+ Interpret curve structure, seasonal indicators, and price signals to shape discretionary overlays and hedge deployment.
+ Apply advanced models and scenario frameworks to refine timing, positioning, and portfolio alignment with physical desk flows.
+ Leverage Commercial Analytics to inform forward curve logic, margin uplift modeling, and tool development for trader usage.
+ Track and improve trader satisfaction, model accuracy, and contribution to realized margin across desks.
Risk Management & Compliance Governance
+ Own risk-adjusted return delivery through active portfolio shaping and risk transfer integration.
+ Lead oversight of VaR, margining, controls, and internal governance processes tied to trading strategy and position sizing.
+ Collaborate with Credit and Legal to ensure compliance with trading protocols, counterparty documentation, and structure eligibility.
+ Maintain compliance with applicable trading rules (CFTC, CME, ICE), exchange margin practices, and internal controls.
Cross-Functional Interfaces
+ Integrate hedge strategies, discretionary overlays and physical-to-paper risk transfer by partnering with Physical Trading Desks, Value Chains, Origination and Commercial Analytics - ensuring cohesive execution, margin optimization and curve alignment.
+ Establish and refine risk controls, P&L attribution and mark-to-market validation in close collaboration with Middle Office, Compliance & Legal - upholding regulatory requirements and platform integrity.
+ Drive system enhancements and process automation through coordination with IT and Support Functions, embedding improved controls, reporting and workflow efficiency across the trading lifecycle.
Leadership & Organizational Culture
+ Promote a high-performance trading environment focused on accuracy, compliance, and risk-adjusted value creation.
+ Develop financial trading talent across structured books and derivative markets, with emphasis on data usage and execution precision.
+ Champion disciplined risk-taking with a collaborative mindset across physical desks and corporate oversight functions.
