  • Serve as a process super-user for current workflows, addressing issues that may arise between internal groups at DRW and multiple external exchanges, clearers, and counterparties.
  • Identify and implement efficiencies within existing processes by leveraging technology to create innovative solutions that enhance workflow, mitigate risk, and improve operational performance.
  • Provide critical support and advice regarding necessary enhancements to technology, workflows, and processes as a process super-user for current systems.
  • Develop a comprehensive understanding of traders' individual risk management tools and support their related needs.
  • Upgrade and support traders' tools to leverage firm-standard technologies and tools.
  • Collaborate with technical personnel to ensure adequate support for ongoing operations and procure enhancements for insufficient or new workflows, always focusing on process efficiency, risk reduction, and alignment with DRW standards.
  • Work closely with the Business Liaison team to ensure the correct onboarding of new desks, traders, and products.
