We are looking for a highly analytical and detail-oriented Manager, Trading to support subscription performance reporting, analysis, and insight generation. Reporting to the VP, Trading, this role plays a key part in ensuring our marketing and commercial teams have timely, accurate performance data and understand the story behind the numbers.
