Are you energized by complex financial products, fast-paced markets, and solving operational challenges that directly impact trading activity? Do you enjoy combining analytical expertise with technology to improve processes and drive results?

U.S. Bank is seeking a Macro Derivatives Middle Office Analyst to join our Markets Operations team. In this highly visible role, you'll work alongside Trading, Risk Management, Technology, Finance, and Operations partners to support the daily lifecycle of complex derivatives products while helping advance automation, operational controls, and process innovation.

This is an opportunity to become a trusted business partner supporting Interest Rate, FX, Options, Futures, and Treasury products within a dynamic trading environment where your expertise, judgment, and problem-solving skills will make a meaningful impact.

What You'll Do

• Support the daily processing and reconciliation of macro derivatives trades across multiple products and systems.
• Monitor portfolio risk and profit-and-loss activity to ensure accuracy, transparency, and operational integrity.
• Partner with Front Office trading teams and key business stakeholders to resolve issues and support strategic initiatives.
• Analyze workflows and identify opportunities to increase efficiency through automation and process improvements.
• Develop and maintain VBA and Python-based tools that enhance reporting, reconciliation, and operational effectiveness.
• Participate in system enhancements, testing activities, and implementation initiatives.
• Serve as a subject matter expert between Front Office and downstream business partners.
• Maintain operational procedures, documentation, and controls to support audit, regulatory, and governance requirements.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Gain exposure to a broad range of macro derivatives products, including Interest Rates, FX, Options, Futures, and Treasury products.
• Work directly with trading desks in a collaborative middle-office environment.
• Influence automation and continuous improvement efforts using technology and data.
• Play a critical role in supporting trade activity, portfolio risk management, and operational excellence.
• Join a team where innovation, collaboration, and analytical thinking are highly valued.
