About the Role
Position
The Derivatives Operations team supports a broad range of post‑execution activities, including collateral and margin processing, lifecycle event management, confirmations, and trade messaging for OTC instruments (rates, credit, TRS, options), futures, listed options, cleared OTC, MSFTA, and repo. While management and most of the team are based in Boston, the London group provides critical daily processing, local market coverage, and on‑the‑ground escalation support.
The Derivatives Operations Analyst will be responsible for reconciling and instructing daily margin requirements, processing accounting entries, and performing post‑valuation control reconciliations for cleared products. The Analyst will work closely with brokers, client relationship teams, trading, and technology partners to ensure timely processing of lifecycle events, respond to internal and external inquiries, and resolve complex issues. Given the complexity and manual nature of certain processes, the Analyst is expected to identify and drive efficiency improvements through workflow, reporting, and reconciliation enhancements. While the role is highly collaborative, many responsibilities are self‑directed and require the ability to work accurately under tight deadlines.
Responsibilities:
Review daily margin calls from brokers and investigate discrepancies
Perform daily post‑valuation cash reconciliations of collateral and margin movements
Complete daily control reconciliations across holdings, collateral, and currency balances with internal systems, brokers, custodians, and clearing houses
Support and maintain effective broker relationships
Serve as a resource and escalation point for issues raised by internal and external stakeholders, including clients, custodians, accounting agents, trading, and portfolio managers
Identify and assist in implementing front‑to‑back process improvements to strengthen efficiency and controls
Participate in industry working groups to assess new clearing opportunities and regulatory developments
Act as a steward of risk and controls, maintaining a strong focus on accuracy and quality
Qualifications:
2 - 4 years experience in back and/or middle office operations with exposure to both cleared and bilateral derivatives, including margin and collateral management
Strong communication skills, high attention to detail, and an analytical, problem‑solving mindset
Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
Experience working within a global team environment preferred
Experience with Calypso Collateral and/or participation in a system transformation project preferred
Technical proficiency in Excel; experience with Python and SQL preferred
Experience with agentic applications a plus
