- Collaborate with the Fee analyst to research and provide resolutions for unreconcilable items.
- Demonstrate the ability to understand and assist with the resolution of complex requests related to all components of the fee setup and allocation process.
- Proactively monitor fee information on statements and invoices for errors with calculations, input, and variances in fees from one period to another.
- Provide documentation of reconciliations for the purpose of supporting changes to fee schedules and fee accruals.
- Prepare monthly reconciliation reports regarding all fees reconciled.
- Serve as a key liaison between the Business Insights, Trade Accounting, Business Development, and Clearing Teams.
- Other duties as assigned or needed.

Skills You’ll Need:

- Ability to work independently and take initiative to define and resolve problems.
- Detail-oriented, organized, and excellent documentation skills.
- Collaborative and able to build and sustain relationships with colleagues.
- Strong communication skills.
- Ability to multitask and prioritize multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
- Flexible, conscientious, and easily adaptable to constant change.
- Professional demeanor and ability to use discretion when working with confidential material.
- Reliable and predictable availability, including the ability to work out of our Chicago office for a portion of each week.

Minimum Qualifications:
