• Primary Market Operation: Oversee daily creation/redemption processes with our Irish ICAV administrator, custodian, and service providers. Implement and refine capital‑markets procedures, SLAs, and risk controls.

• Product Development Collaboration: Partner with Portfolio Management to optimize PCFs, custom baskets, and structures improving secondary‑market efficiency. Provide capital‑markets insight during product design and launch planning.
• Institutional Client Advisory: Act as technical expert for institutional clients, supporting block trades, RFQ workflows, and transitions. Organize and deliver capital-markets education for internal sales teams and key clients.
• Execution Desk Collaboration: Support multi‑asset trade execution (equities, fixed income, FX, derivatives, futures), including order handling and allocations.
• Governance, Regulation & Risk: Develop reporting, dashboards, and risk‑monitoring standards.

Your Profile

• Experience: 7+ years in ETF capital markets, Delta‑One trading, ETF issuance, or a senior AP/MM role.
• Expert Knowledge: Deep understanding of Irish‑domiciled UCITS, European ETF market microstructure, and creation/redemption mechanics.
• Network: Strong relationships across Tier‑1 banks, APs/MMs, exchanges, and the ETF ecosystem.
• Technical Skills: Expertise in arbitrage/hedging mechanisms, NAV pricing, basket construction, and relevant tax considerations.
