Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled professional to strengthen our operational risk management capabilities and enhance control frameworks through advanced analytics and AI-driven solutions. This role involves monitoring risk, scaling controls, and leveraging real-time data to identify patterns, analyze incidents, and implement proactive improvements that support resilient, data-informed decision-making.

Operating within a fast-paced trading environment, you will collaborate closely with stakeholders across Trading, Technology, Data Science, and Risk & Control functions, while maintaining regular engagement with senior leadership. The position primarily supports U.S. operations and contributes to global risk initiatives in partnership with teams across Europe and APAC.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and support incident reviews, including trend analysis and remediation planning.
  • Perform risk assessments to identify emerging risks and evaluate mitigation strategies.
  • Prepare and deliver periodic management reporting to senior stakeholders.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 2 years of experience in Operational Risk, Internal Audit, Compliance, or related second-line roles.
  • Background in financial services or trading environments, with foundational knowledge of markets and products.
  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Familiarity with U.S. regulatory frameworks (e.g., FINRA, SEC).
  • Prior experience in trading (market making, algorithmic trading, or proprietary trading) strongly preferred.
  • Understanding of regulatory standards and operational risk considerations for trading firms.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in STEM, Finance, Economics, or related disciplines.
  • Legal authorization to work in the U.S.
  • What We Offer

  • A collaborative, high-performance culture committed to excellence and continuous improvement.
  • Competitive compensation, performance-based bonuses, and global profit-sharing.
  • Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, mental health support, and life coverage.
  • 401(k) match up to 50%, generous paid time off, and market holidays.
  • Exceptional office amenities including catered meals, snacks, social events, and recreational activities.
