About the role
We’re looking for a Trading Operations Lead to own and scale the trading operations function powering Mercury’s SEC-registered investment advisor and FINRA-member broker-dealer. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone with deep brokerage and trading operations expertise who can both set the standard for how the function operates and step directly into complex operational work when needed.
What they're looking for
- Hold active FINRA Series 7, Series 63, and Series 24 licenses (Series 99 or Series 57 a plus
- 8+ years in trading, brokerage, or investment operations, including direct ownership of trade lifecycle, settlement, or trading control functions
- Have hands-on operational experience across fixed income, mutual funds, and ETFs — you know where each product breaks and why
- Have built or materially improved a trade surveillance or operational control framework, not just executed someone else’s
- Communicate clearly in writing — procedures, escalations, and post-mortems that a regulator, an engineer, and an executive can each read and act on
- Be comfortable operating in ambiguity and at speed, and be willing to design the process rather than wait for one
