• Partner closely with fund accounting, custodians, administrators, APs, market makers, and technology teams to support the seamless operation of the ETF ecosystem across both primary and secondary market activity
• Monitor operational processes and system interfaces to proactively identify and resolve issues before they impact production
• Serve as the primary owner of Artisan's end-of-day CPR process, overseeing the resolution of Trading and Capital Markets-related items to ensure accurate daily close and next-day operational readiness
• Manage critical model delivery-related deliverables including recurring Russell and Envestnet platform and Morgan Stanley daily trade review
• Support ETF launches, onboarding activities, and strategic process improvement initiatives while helping enhance operational procedures, controls, and exception-management frameworks that support a scalable operating model
