• Volatility, VaR, and drawdown tracking
• Sector and factor exposure analysis
• Performance attribution and diagnostics
• Weekly and monthly investor analytics packs
• Process automation to improve speed and reliability
  

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with staging and executing systematic trades across futures markets
• Monitor fills, slippage, and transaction costs
