We start our day in the APAC region, followed by Europe and ending our cycle in the Americas. We have application support analysts in each region focusing on production issues that arise during their day. Since the regions overlap, we expect the members of the team to assist users in the other regions as the needs arise.

The successful candidate will have an opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of how an asset-management firm operates. From the inception of an idea from a portfolio manager to the trading lifecycle of an order until it becomes a position in our portfolios. This will also be an opportunity to increase your technical knowledges as well as looking for ways to improve the existing workflows.
