Bookrunner a BO role ? Isn t bookrunning actually the auction process of pricing an instrument , I.e. gathering info on the demand when issuing ? I thought bookrunning was central in capital markets.

does not sound like a job, looks to be a role a bank plays in some type of ECM/DCM issuance

i think it differentiates the book runner of an issue, with the b/r of a hedge -- convert and call option, or offshore vanilla and cross-currency

i'm guessing it would be making sure everything is booked correctly, if its a BO gig. as in trade capture.
