Is this "Portfolio Managment" Job posting Front Office or MO

Saw a great posting for a position for the large bank I work for but this posting almost seems like it is not telling the whole thing. Its in a location that is known usually for support roles which makes me question it. I thought I would post it and let WSO decide.

What do you think?
Is this a role that could blossom to a more PM related role or a dead end?
