In addition, you oversee clearing and settlement processes across global options markets, monitor margin and collateral requirements, and support the onboarding of new brokers, trading venues and counterparties.

You also manage key options lifecycle events such as expiries, exercises, assignments and corporate actions, ensuring accurate and timely processing. Beyond daily operations, you contribute to the continuous improvement of operational workflows by working closely with Technology teams on automation, system enhancements and scalable solutions, while also supporting testing and implementation of new systems and processes.

Experience within a hedge fund, proprietary trading firm, market maker or systematic investment environment is strongly preferred.

You are proficient in Excel and familiar with prime brokerage, clearing and collateral management processes. Experience with Python, SQL, automation or Bloomberg is considered a plus. With your strong analytical mindset, attention to detail and hands-on approach, you take ownership of operational processes and thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
