In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex on-chain/off-chain trading activity and institutional financial reporting. You will be responsible for the end-to-end reconciliation of spot and complex derivative portfolios, ensuring that every trade is accounted for, every risk is captured, and every report delivered to our leadership and regulators is bulletproof. You will not just manage data; you will build the infrastructure that allows our trading desk to scale safely in a fast-evolving market.We have created the Factors of Growth & Impact to help Villagers better measure impact and articulate coaching, feedback, and the rich and rewarding learning that happens while exploring, developing, and mastering the capabilities and contributions within and outside of the (insert role title) role:

Technical Skills:

• Data Architecture & SQL: You possess a deep understanding of how trading data flows from execution platforms into sub-ledgers. You are proficient in SQL and Python/R to automate large-scale reconciliations.
• Derivatives Risk: You have a granular understanding of derivative products (Options, Perpetuals, Swaps, and Futures), including their valuation mechanics, Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Vega), and lifecycle events.
• Control Design: You don’t just follow a checklist; you design and implement robust control frameworks for new trading products, ensuring readiness for settlement, valuation, and reporting.

Complexity and Impact of Work:

• Operational Workflow Mapping: You understand and can document the end-to-end trading lifecycle—from order entry and execution to confirmation, settlement, and collateral management—and proactively identify bottlenecks or control gaps in the operational process.
• Reconciliation Ownership: You independently manage the daily reconciliation of principal trading positions between internal records, exchange APIs, and external custodians, proactively resolving breaks before they impact P&L.
• Automation: Automate the categorizations of possible system noise (timing gaps, derivative marks) to ensure the daily recon focuses only on genuine operational breaks or actionable areas of focus.
• Regulatory Reporting: You ensure the accurate and timely preparation of daily, weekly, and monthly regulatory filings (such as CFTC, SEC, or regional equivalents). You design and implement data controls to guarantee that all trade reporting to Swap Data Repositories (SDRs) or other regulatory bodies meets stringent accuracy and completeness standards.
• Compliance & Audit Readiness: You act as the primary point of contact for audits and regulatory inquiries regarding trade data and valuation, ensuring that every report delivered to regulators is bulletproof and backed by verifiable data. 
• System Readiness: Act as the Gatekeeper for new product launches, custodians, exchanges, and entity expansions, ensuring that reconciliation logic and platform access are functional
• Process Engineering: You identify systemic gaps in data quality and work directly with Engineering and Data teams to build automated solutions for trade capture and reporting.

Organizational Knowledge:

• Cross-Functional Fluency: You act as the "glue" between the Trading Desk, Risk Management, Engineering, and Accounting, ensuring that all stakeholders have a single version of the truth regarding the firm's exposure.
• Market Context: You stay abreast of market trends in both traditional and digital asset derivatives, understanding how regulatory changes (such as Basel III or specific crypto-regulations) impact capital requirements and reporting.

Communication and Influence:

• Stakeholder Management: You can translate complex "data breaks" or accounting treatments into clear summaries for non-technical stakeholders, including the Head of Trading or the CFO.
• Constructive Challenge: You are comfortable "challenging the desk" on valuation discrepancies or booking errors, maintaining a balance between being a business partner and a rigorous controller.

You may be a fit for this role if:

• You have 6-10 years of experience in Product Control, Middle Office, or Fund Accounting, specifically supporting a principal trading or derivatives desk.
• Professional experience using SQL or Python for data analysis.
• You have a deep curiosity for how financial products work under the hood and a "detective" mindset when it comes to reconciling data.
• You are autonomous, detail-oriented, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where the "right answer" requires digging through complex data sets.
• You possess a Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

• You have experience with digital assets, on-chain data (block explorers), or DeFi protocols.
• You have used BI tools like Looker, Tableau, or Alteryx to build automated financial dashboards.
• You have a professional certification such as a CFA, FRM, or CPA.
• You’ve seen and were emotionally moved by the musical Hamilton :)
