DCM Syndicate Agent
Runs the bond order book and allocation mechanics.
Tracks the bond book as guidance moves: orders in and out, demand split by account type at each spread level, and what survives every guidance revision. Builds allocation scenarios from that picture; the accountable desk head owns final pricing and allocation.
