• Assess the impact of deliveries on margin, collateral, and liquidity, working closely with treasury and collateral teams.
• Ensure compliance with exchange rules, CCP frameworks, and applicable regulatory and sanctions regimes.
• Contribute to process optimisation, automation initiatives, and the onboarding of new physical contracts and markets.
