• Support institutional notes business lines such as Buy-Writes and Synthetic Convertibles.
• Run the book day-to-day, supporting pricing and marks, and executing and managing delta and other hedges.
• Own the trade lifecycle end-to-end, from execution through settlement, including physical-share/144A mechanics and the segregated physical-shares account.
• Partner with the structurer and quant teams to implement new instruments and validate their pricing, booking, and lifecycle.
• Coordinate with Financial Resources and Treasury to ensure borrow and funding costs don’t quietly erode deal P&L.
