- Develop reusable macro scenario frameworks and playbooks to assess potential market outcomes under different rates, growth, inflation, and liquidity environments.

- Build and maintain relationships with economists, macro strategists, policy specialists, and other thought leaders.

- Help organize periodic firm-wide strategy sessions and speaker events on macro, market, and thematic debates.
