Collateral Optimization Role?

Hello,

Does anyone know what collateral optimization is on the trading floor? I think it's a little different from collateral management which is more operations doing CSA and margin calls. Is this role client-facing and what do they do day-today in terms of working with other teams? What are the exit ops for it and pay?
