ABOUT THIS ROLE

• 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
