Interview at BB for Trade Support Analyst on Commodities team
Hi everyone. I am Just looking to clarify some questions for an interview regarding a trade support analyst role at a BB within their commodities team. I understand that this position is part of the operations team so is likely more MO/BO then FO such as a trade assistant position. Furthermore, I am really struggling to understand what my role would be and if this position would be a mix of both.
The description for the role is as follows:
As a Trading Services Analyst, you'll be responsible for understanding trading structures to accurately capture all transactions, complete reconciliation checks, and ensure controls are performed in a fast paced environment. As the role is located on the trading floor, you’ll have first hand exposure to Metals, Energy, and Ags markets.
and the responsibilities are listed here:
- Timely and accurate capture of all transactions in the Risk Management Systems
- Complete intraday / end of day processes including completeness and reconciliation checks to ensure capture of new trading activity and general book management has been processed accurately
- Ensure all controls are diligently performed, completed, and signed off on a timely basis
- Clear and concise communication with all support teams to ensure the timely and efficient resolution of queries
- Participate and contribute to the various strategic initiatives; keep improving and evolving processes and business architecture
- Build an in-depth understanding of all trading structures from both a financial and operational perspective
Will any of this provide any front office experience that could help me elevate towards my career goals? Very nervous since reading information on here sounds like being in BO is like having a label next to your name.
following. I also have a MO role (trade support) I've asked around on my floor and the general consensus is that you can infact get into FO roles ie. trader/scheduler with this experience. You will be fine
