About the Role This opening gives the Chicago, IL hire responsibility for electronic execution, order exceptions, transaction-cost analysis, venue review, and broker accountability, with operating coverage focused on Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules. You will connect research, engineering, trading, and risk without hiding uncertainty or operational tradeoffs.

Chicago Operating Focus The Chicago opening emphasizes derivatives-aware review, pre-open preparation, and controlled live-market escalation. The Central Time window connects overnight futures behavior, the equity open, listed-derivative activity, and the afternoon cash close in one working day. The role must separate information that transfers across instruments from relationships that only appear during a short regime. Any production response needs an owner, a limit, and a review time. For this role, that means direct ownership of live orders, implementation shortfall, venue outcomes, and execution exceptions during Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules.

First Review Cycle In Chicago, IL, the first formal review will assess live orders, implementation shortfall, venue outcomes, and execution exceptions under the normal controls used for Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules. Any proposed response must remain within an approved limit. The operating test starts with this task: Coordinate incident response with engineering and risk. It continues with this task: Oversee electronic execution and exception handling. The Chicago opening emphasizes derivatives-aware review, pre-open preparation, and controlled live-market escalation.
