Diagnose execution : Work out why an order behaved the way it did across strategies, venues, order size, and market conditions.

Run TCA : Build and interpret execution analysis independently and use it to drive execution consulting conversations.

Share market structure insight : Help deliver intelligence to clients on liquidity trends, venue behavior, and regulatory change.

Handle incidents : Escalate issues to trading technology during the session, manage risk, and keep clients informed.

Grow the business : Support onboarding and account growth alongside the equities coverage lead.
