  • Research and model cross-departmental risk to optimize TEA’s processes.
• Testing & Implementation:
  • Develop testing plans for new products from a system risk perspective.
  • Contribute to Horizon Testing Plans and ensure Middle Office needs are met.
  • Collaborate with Compliance to establish processes for managing regulatory risk.
• Process Optimization & Stakeholder Engagement:
  • Maximize existing tools to reduce manual workload and improve operational effectiveness.
  • Work cross-functionally on projects to drive process efficiency.
  • Identify and implement new processes that streamline workload and reduce redundancies.
• Risk Management & Controls Support:
  • Maintain an understanding of risk and credit limits across TEA and its Clients.
  • Ensure Process Risk Procedures remain up to date.
  • Provide backup support to the controls analysts as needed.
• Strategic & Organizational Support:
  • Lead and organize TEA’s Trading System Management Team (TSMT) efforts, including agenda creation, meeting minutes, presentation preparation, and behind-the-scenes coordination.
  • Run Nights in White Satin evening processes independently, ensuring operational accuracy.

What We’re Looking For:

• Education & Experience:
  • Bachelor’s degree in a technical or business-related discipline required; an advanced degree is a plus.
  • Minimum of five years of relevant experience in process assessment, risk management, or related fields.
• Key Skills:
  • Strong analytical and big-picture thinking to assess cross-functional processes.
  • Experience researching and modeling risk across departments.
  • Ability to develop and execute structured testing plans for system risk management.
  • Excellent organizational skills to manage multiple projects and stakeholder needs.
  • Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and executive reporting.
