Position Responsibilities – Summary
The Decision Support Systems team within ICA seeks an individual who will

known as Investment View.
In the Fixed-Income Support area, this individual will take on moderate to
complex issues that originate from our business or from other application
teams. It is expected that this individual will become knowledgeable enough
in the applications and processes that we support, such as fixed-income
analytics, report development, and portfolio management tools, so that
he/she can take an active role in solving problems or directing other team
members in doing so themselves. This individual will also be heavily
involved in designing, supporting, improving, and developing data validation
and productivity tools and processes within this area.
This individual will also have responsibilities in connection with the
Investment View, not only from a support perspective, but also in performing
business analysis and design and testing of new features, functionality and
instruments. It is expected that the individual will reach a high level of
proficiency within 3 months with IV's instrument structures, batch processes
and other aspects of this data model.

These include issues with reports, portfolio management applications,
fixed-income analytics, Investment View, and other applications and
processes.

work, monitor and promote quality of output, ensure that projects and tasks
are being performed according to standards and in conformity with business
requirements, and identify areas for cross training and knowledge sharing
among team members.

· On a regular basis, evening and weekend work will be required in
order to provide routine revolving coverage, to address critical production
issues, or to provide oversight for disaster recovery testing, smoke testing
or other off-hours activities.
· Establish and maintain effective client relationships and help
guide the team in setting priorities for completion of requests or
resolution of issues.
· Manage and facilitate implementation of business solutions aimed
at investment process efficiency, data quality improvements and simplifying
investor workflow.

initiatives.

team oriented environment. Committed to deliver projects on time and
overcome obstacles.
· High attention to detail and strong commitment to quality is
absolutely essential.
· Ability to work independently and demonstrate a high degree of
ownership of outcomes.
· Working knowledge of ANSI SQL with RDBMS like Oracle is a must.

skills.
