Similarly, you'll track and audit logical connections to trading venues as the business requires, working with trading desks and technologists to audit usage and reduce waste.
A key metric of success in this role will be not only completing the tasks as the business required, but owning the creation of sustainable, automated processes for market connectivity management that can scale as Old Mission grows.
