Technical Skills

• Demonstrate expertise in how trading businesses operate across internal teams and control functions, as well as the regulatory frameworks in which they may operate.
• Understand product and technical requirements to determine downstream impacts of suggested technical solutions.
• Build test plans, outline procedural requirements, monitor launch readiness to ensure safe and sustainable launches in line with audit, regulatory, and other requirements.

Complexity and Impact of Work

• Understand project sponsor goals to determine required stakeholders and workstreams; dig into go-to-market and product, design, and engineering timelines to incorporate compliance, legal, risk, finance, and operational workstream deliverables into a program-wide project plan (capable of breaking down large projects into smaller tasks).
• Identify and manage dependencies to ensure awareness around impact; mitigate issues that arise from these dependencies with stakeholder engagement and problem solving (analyze trade-offs, recommend and justify priorities, etc.).

Organizational Knowledge

• Understand the long-term support model for the project/launch to ensure proper engagement with the teams that will support the model going forward (e.g., Operations, Legal, Compliance, Finance, etc.); work with these teams to ensure well-controlled models are designed at launch, and define required ongoing enhancements to support continued growth/scale over time.
• Do not hoard information or become single point of failure; ensure proper knowledge-sharing and cross-functional understanding to ensure the goal of one area does not put another at risk.

Communication and Influence

• Listen to project team members to identify and quickly remediate emerging risks; ability to push back and challenge others while understanding underlying needs, motivations, emotions, or concerns.
