About the Team The Markets Operations Chief Administrative Office (CAO) organization sitting within the broader Markets Chief Operating Office (COO) provides the connective tissue across the Operations franchise — spanning Chief of Staff, Expense & Resource Management, Ops In-Business Risk, and Strategic Initiatives. The Strategic Initiatives pillar partners directly with business-aligned Operations leaders (organized by product, process, cluster, and cross-functional operations) to drive execution of high-priority, often ambiguous, cross-cutting priorities that do not sit neatly within a single vertical. This role is a foundational build-out position within that pillar and will help shape how the function operates as it scales to meet business growth.
