Job description

Lead Of Trading Operations

This is a remote position. We are looking for a Lead of Trading Operations to build, lead, and evolve our global Trading Operations function. This role sits at the intersection of trading, technology, and risk management, and is mission-critical for ensuring resilient and scalable execution processes across markets and time zones.

You'll lead a team that owns operational integrity end-to-end : from pre-market checks to intraday monitoring and post-trade reconciliations, managing tooling and SLAs, and collaborating with trading, dev, quant, and compliance teams.

Key Responsibilities

Operational Ownership

Design and continuously refine pre- / post-session checklists, intraday monitoring protocols, and post-trade processes
Build and enforce intrasession controls and real-time invariants across trading systems
Develop and execute escalation playbooks for operational incidents

Performance & Capacity Management

Monitor capacity trends across venues, instruments, and internal systems

Define KPIs and maintain SLAs (latency, fill rates, reconciliation windows)

Identify and resolve operational bottlenecks

Anomaly Detection & Incident Response

Oversee systems and workflows for anomaly detection (latency spikes, data mismatches, P&L gaps)

Lead structured post-mortems, track root causes and remediation

Continuous Improvement

Drive automation across key workflows

Evolve internal dashboards, monitoring systems, and alerting infrastructure

Build a culture of proactivity and robustness over reactivity

Team Leadership

Build and lead a globally distributed ops team

Define clear growth paths and mentor junior team members

Balance tactical execution with strategic planning

Cross-functional Collaboration

Align workflows with trading strategies and market structure

Partner with engineering for deployment / rollback reliability

Work with quant teams to understand model behavior and failure modes

Ensure audit-readiness and compliance with relevant regulations

Requirements

Experience

7+ years in trading operations, execution support, or trading infrastructure roles at a prop shop, hedge fund, or electronic market-maker

Proven track record managing trading operations across multiple asset classes (equities, futures, FX, options)

Experience building and scaling ops processes in high-uptime, low-latency environments

Technical & Functional Skills

Deep understanding of electronic execution flows : order lifecycle, market connectivity, clearing & settlement

Familiarity with FIX, proprietary APIs, drop copies, and post-trade reconciliation tooling

Strong grasp of infrastructure monitoring concepts (latency tracking, failover, system health)

Ability to define and implement intrasession checks, automated alerting, and risk controls

Comfortable working with dashboards (Grafana, Kibana, etc.) and scripting languages (Python, Bash, etc.) is a plus

Leadership & Communication

Experience leading globally distributed teams and managing through follow-the-sun workflows

Clear communicator able to synthesize incidents and drive postmortems with traders, engineers, and executives

Operational mindset with a bias for process design, reliability, and ownership under pressure

Mindset

Hands-on, low-ego operator with a high bar for quality

Comfortable in fast-paced, dynamic environments with limited structure

Proactive, curious, and deeply invested in building scalable systems that "just work"

Benefits

Highly competitive base salary, benchmarked against leading trading firms

Remote-first policy with optional relocation support for Dubai HQ

Flexible time off, including market holidays coverage structure

Home office stipend and equipment coverage

Regular offsites and team gatherings in global locations

Flat structure with direct access to trading, tech, and leadership
