- Partner with clients on critical market structure topics, including data distribution, connectivity solutions, and technology platform enhancements to ensure a seamless and high-quality service.
- Collaborate closely with traditional Sales teams as a subject matter expert, providing detailed analysis of flow quality and the effectiveness of our electronic trading platform.

- Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with demonstrable experience using execution analytics like TCA to provide consultative advice to clients.
- An established track record of building and maintaining relationships with sophisticated institutional clients, such as top-tier Asset Managers and Hedge Funds.
- Excellent understanding of fixed income market structure, liquidity dynamics, and the evolving technological landscape that underpins electronic trading.
- A proactive, collaborative, and client-centric mindset, with the ability to work effectively alongside sales, trading, and technology partners to deliver results.
