About the role

As Operations Lead, you will own the daily operating engine of our FCM: making sure every trade, position, margin call, cash movement and customer account is processed accurately, on time and under documented controls. You will be the first-line owner of the trade lifecycle and of back- and middle-office operations. You will work closely with Compliance, Risk, Finance and Engineering, with clear first- and second-line responsibilities. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 6+ years of progressively responsible futures/clearing operations experience
  • Hands-on, end-to-end trade flow experience: execution, clearing, settlement and reporting
  • Deep experience with position management and margin
  • Working knowledge of FCM obligations, including customer funds segregation, daily segregation computations and books and records
  • A clean regulatory record, with no NFA or FINRA disciplinary history
  • Strong process and control design skills, and comfort writing the playbook rather than following one
