Automated Risk Monitoring
- Build and maintain robust automated control mechanisms to continuously monitor brokerage risks, reduce reliance on manual reviews, and strengthen operational resilience.
- Develop early-warning systems and exception alerting logic tied to key risk indicators (KRIs), breach thresholds, or anomalies in real-time data feeds.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to deploy scripts, scheduled jobs, or event-based triggers that detect control failures or irregular patterns across systems.
- Build resilient pipelines that feed risk dashboards with real-time or batch data for effective surveillance of trading activity, reconciliation breaks, and control health.
- Regularly tune and optimize monitoring parameters using historical data and trend analysis to reduce false positives and improve signal quality.

- Broker Dealer Expertise: Solid understanding of broker-dealer operations, financial products, and regulatory requirements (e.g., FINRA, SEC, CFTC), paired with practical experience in quantitative risk modeling, control frameworks, and trading risk metrics.
- Data Storytelling & Precision: Proven ability to develop intuitive dashboards and alerting systems (e.g., Looker, Tableau), with a detail-oriented approach to identifying anomalies, interpreting complex data, and driving risk-informed decisions.
