Director Fixed Operations Jobs in Sandy, UT (NOW HIRING)

We're seeking someone to join our team as an Associate in ISG Equity Operations responsible for providing first class service and break resolution for a number of clients over various products for global markets. The Associate will work closely with Global Stakeholders including the Prime Brokerage Trade Support teams, Prematch and Fails, the Business Units and senior management across the firm.

ISG Product Operations encompasses two functionally aligned organizations. The first, Trading & Client Operations, provides Operations functions in direct support of activity executed by Institutional Sales & Trading. The second, Client Operations, provides Operations functions in direct support for activity cleared by Morgan Stanley on behalf of our clients in Prime Brokerage, Listed Derivatives, and OTC Derivatives. The broad organization partners closely with Sales and Trading to develop and implement new products and services as well as drive efficiency and reduce risk in our processes. At all times we are focused on delivering quality service to clients both internal and external. ISG Product Operations partners closely with Shared Services and Banking Operations as well as Branch Operations and Operations Risk & Control to deliver a connected 'front to back' view of operations to ISG Sales and Trading.

Prime Brokerage Client Operations supports both the Prime Brokerage (NY) and International Prime Brokerage (LN) Business Units, across both Equity and Fixed Income products. It is a hugely diverse and dynamic department covering a wide range of functions/responsibilities from trade capture and clearance through to settlements and break resolution. The teams liaise with various internal and external counterparties on a daily basis, including the business units, hedge fund clients, brokers, stock loan, controls, corporate actions, network management and settlements. It is a high risk, exciting environment where the teams have to work to tight deadlines, which are both client and market driven.

As the demands of hedge funds have evolved, so too have services provided by the Prime Broker. Today, Morgan Stanley Prime Brokerage supports clients across a wide range of trading strategies from the more traditional equity long/short to credit strategies where the fund manager is trading credit default swaps, index futures and global distressed debt.

The Client Service Group provides direct client coverage and each team member is responsible for their own client base. Within this model, the Client Service Group team members support a number of key processes including break investigation, fails investigation and various other trade related activities. As this is a crucial client facing role the team are also responsible for making client process improvements which ultimately supports both Morgan Stanley and the client.
