What you'll do
  • Be a key member of the Futures Clearing Operations team, responsible for full lifecycle management from execution through settlement and expiration.

  • Be responsible for the daily execution of all operationally critical activities related to Futures, including trade and position reconciliations, settlements, expiration processing, and cash and collateral movements.

  • Take ownership of critical trade and position reconciliations, investigating and resolving breaks across internal systems, clearing workflows, and counterparties.

  • Be a Subject Matter Expert (SME) on Futures settlement workflows, margin impacts, and lifecycle events.

  • Partner cross-functionally with Margin and Risk Remediation teams to monitor exposures and strengthen operational controls.

  • Support in UAT testing and production validation for new product launches, system enhancements, and workflow improvements.

  • Troubleshoot, manage, and proactively resolve reconciliation differences while maintaining strong risk awareness and accuracy.

  • Use data to identify inefficiencies, propose automation opportunities, and help scale back-office processes to support product growth.

  • Develop and enhance processes and controls to improve operational resiliency and efficiency.

Skills you bring
  • Have 3+ years of experience at a broker-dealer, clearing firm, exchange, or fintech company handling back-office reconciliations and settlement responsibilities. Experience with derivatives, options or Futures.

  • Experience at a CIRO-regulated dealer is preferred.

  • Have direct experience managing trade and position reconciliations, expiration processing, and settlement workflows.

  • Demonstrate a strong ownership mindset — you proactively identify issues, drive resolution end-to-end, and continuously improve processes.

  • Are highly organized with strong attention to detail and are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment while meeting tight deadlines.

  • Have strong Excel skills; experience with SQL or other programming/scripting languages is a plus.

  • Have excellent communication and collaboration skills, and thrive in a cross-functional environment.

  • Have completed or are pursuing relevant industry courses (CSC, DFOL, derivatives licensing, etc.) are preferred.

  • Available to support early and late hours on rotating shifts as required by market events and settlement cycles.
