About The Position

We are seeking a trading professional with strong analytical skills and technical aptitude to join our Trade Operations team as a Trading Quality Analyst. This role is best suited to someone with hands-on experience in trade production who is comfortable working with data, systems, controls, and reporting tools. The Trading Quality Analyst will use practical knowledge of trading workflows to monitor operational quality, review exceptions, validate expected outcomes, and help improve reporting and controls. The position partners with technical teams when system or reporting changes are needed, but it is not a software engineering or product development role. This is an opportunity for a detail-oriented operations professional who enjoys investigating issues, improving processes, and using data to support reliable trade execution and client outcomes. We can consider candidates for this position who are able to accommodate a hybrid work schedule and are close to our Charlotte, NC office.

Technical aptitude and curiosity, with comfort learning new systems, working with structured data, and partnering with technical teams.

Apply trading knowledge to confirm that reports, alerts, and controls reflect expected business outcomes and documented operating procedures.
Investigate anomalies and quality issues, document findings, assess impact, and coordinate with the appropriate teams to support resolution.
Support business testing and validation of reporting, workflow, configuration, or system changes by executing test scenarios, reviewing outputs, and documenting results.
Monitor the effectiveness of controls and workflows over time and escalate process risks, data issues, SLA concerns, or workflow breakdowns.
