Enforce regulatory standards set by the CFTC, NFA, and applicable derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs)

Exercise swift, decisive, and authoritative judgment to execute trade halts and liquidations during periods of extreme market volatility. Cover daily FCM risk management responsibilities, tracking intraday and end-of-day risk metrics across a multi-asset clearing ecosystem.

Requirements
5 to 10+ years of hands‑on experience in risk management, trading, or derivatives operations (experience with an FCM, derivatives clearing firm, prime broker, or broker‑dealer is a strong plus)

Degree or above in a quantitative discipline, with professional qualifications such as CFA and FRM an added advantage
Proficient in Python and SQL is a strong plus
Strong understanding of equities, commodity products, futures, perpetuals, and other derivatives, including their multi-asset pricing mechanics and funding rates
Working knowledge of SPAN and portfolio‑margining methodologies, and of how intraday and end‑of‑day margin calls are raised and met. Solid understanding of margin concepts, cross‑margining efficiencies, liquidations, and direct trading experience (personal or professional)
Familiarity with CFTC, NFA, and SEC regulations is a strong plus
Self‑motivated, having the internal drive and motivation to begin and continue tasks independently without supervision
A track record of making swift, decisive risk calls under pressure, including trade halts and liquidations during extreme market volatility
