ABOUT THIS ROLE

The Portfolio Manager is a critical operational role responsible for executing daily portfolio management and trading activities for AIM's sub-advisory clients. Working under the supervision of the Director, Head of RIA Portfolio Management, you will manage client trading sessions, review algorithmic trade proposals, ensure compliance with securities regulations, and monitor trade execution quality.

This is an excellent opportunity for a portfolio management professional with 2+ years of experience to join a high-growth initiative at the ground floor, gain exposure to advanced rebalancing and direct indexing technologies, and develop expertise in sub-advisory operations within a regulated fintech environment.

As AIM scales from launch with Facet Wealth to managing billions in assets across multiple RIA clients, you will play a key role in building operational excellence and establishing best practices for portfolio management workflows.

• Technology Operation: Run Apex's proprietary rebalancing and direct indexing technology to generate optimized trade proposals

• Trade Proposal Analysis: Review algorithmic trade recommendations for accuracy, logic, and alignment with client strategies

• Trade Validation: Verify trade calculations, identify anomalies, and flag unusual proposals for senior review

• Trade Submission: Submit approved trades to Apex Basket Trading Application with accurate documentation of timestamps, client IDs, and order details

• Session Closure: Close client sessions properly to maintain separation and audit trail integrity

• Fill Monitoring: Continuously monitor trade execution throughout the trading day via Apex Basket Trading Application

• Completeness Review: Track fill status for all submitted orders, identifying complete fills, partial fills, and failed orders

• Exception Handling: Flag incomplete or problematic orders, investigate root causes, and coordinate with senior staff on remediation

• Quality Assessment: Review execution quality including fill rates, price performance, and timing

• Documentation: Maintain detailed records of all monitoring activities and exception resolutions

• Compliance Verification: Support compliance checks to ensure adherence to securities regulations, trading rules, and client guidelines

• Audit Trail Documentation: Maintain complete records of session activities, trade decisions, and execution details

• Reconciliation: Assist with end-of-day reconciliation of trade submissions, fills, and outstanding orders

• Daily Reporting: Contribute to generation of daily reports including clients processed, trades executed, exceptions, and compliance items

• Recordkeeping: Ensure all documentation meets regulatory requirements and internal standards
