About the role
Savvy's introducing broker-dealer is live, but the trading desk operation underneath it is still a work in progress. Trade supervision, best execution review, and principal-level sign-off have been handled ad hoc, split across a few people without a dedicated senior owner. As Sr. Brokerage Operations Manager, you'll be the licensed principal of record for trading activity and the primary operations counterpart to our General Counsel/CCO.
What they're looking for
- 6-8+ years of broker-dealer operations experience, including having personally built a brokerage/trading operations function from scratch (e.g., at an RIA custodian, broker-dealer, or clearing firm)
- Series 7, 63 and 24 licenses
- Deep knowledge of the trade lifecycle, best execution, and regulatory trade reporting (CAT/CAIS, Rule 605/606)
- Comfortable operating as a senior peer to Legal/Compliance and company leadership — presents and defends decisions directly, doesn't need managing
- Experience preparing for or supporting a FINRA/SEC examination
- High comfort with ambiguity — this function and its controls are being built from scratch
More about this role
Wealth management is a $545 billion industry that still runs on manual work. 75% of advisors offer no digital communication beyond email, and most still build financial plans by hand in Excel. Savvy is reinventing what it looks like to be a financial advisor. Founder Ritik Malhotra saw the fragmentation firsthand after seeking out his own advisor, and started Savvy to give independent advisors a modern, AI-native home.
Savvy is a registered investment advisor (RIA), and we partner with experienced financial advisors who want to grow without running the back office themselves. Advisors bring their book and join Savvy, running under their own brand (or ours), and Savvy earns a percentage of the assets they manage. In return, they get a true business-in-a-box: a proprietary tech platform and client portal, an in-house marketing team that helps them grow, a world-class investment management team, and a dedicated client services team that runs day-to-day operations and support. Advisors at Savvy service up to 50% more households and save 19 hours a week.
