  • Partner closely with engineering teams to prototype, design, and build scalable clearing services, reducing reliance on traditional third-party service-bureau workflows where appropriate.
  • Translate complex clearing, custody, regulatory, and operational requirements into clear product strategies, technical requirements, system designs, and delivery priorities.
  • Collaborate across engineering, operations, finance, treasury, compliance, legal, risk, and product teams to ensure clearing infrastructure is scalable, controlled, resilient, and regulator-ready.
  • Develop systems and processes that support accurate reconciliation, settlement, asset movement, custody, cash management, and regulatory controls.
  • Help evolve the platform from primarily U.S.-focused brokerage infrastructure toward a global, multi-asset, multi-currency clearing architecture.
  • Lead senior teams and influence cross-functional stakeholders, balancing risk, operational efficiency, capital requirements, technical feasibility, timelines, and budget.
  • Identify opportunities to modernize processes and infrastructure while maintaining high standards for reliability, compliance, and operational integrity.
  • Provide strong product leadership in ambiguous and technically complex environments, moving initiatives from problem definition and prototyping through production implementation.

  • 10+ years of experience in brokerage, clearing, custody, prime brokerage, trading infrastructure, financial market infrastructure, capital markets technology, or a closely related domain.
  • 5+ years of experience in Product Management, technical program management, or engineering focused on brokerage, clearing, post-trade, or financial infrastructure.
  • Demonstrated expertise in at least one major clearing domain, such as settlement and stock record, books and records, corporate actions, margin, ACATS, or DTCC processing.
  • Strong technical depth and the ability to work directly with engineers to translate complex financial and regulatory requirements into scalable system architectures.
  • Experience operating within regulated broker-dealer environments and collaborating effectively with Compliance, Legal, Operations, Risk, and other control functions.
  • Strong understanding of clearing, custody, ledgers, settlement, asset movement, reconciliation, and related brokerage infrastructure.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead senior teams, influence without formal authority, and drive execution across multiple functions.
  • Strong operating judgment, with the ability to balance risk, operational efficiency, capital allocation, technology feasibility, time, and budget.
  • Experience with global brokerage expansion, international equities, FX, local-market custody, omnibus models, sub-ledgers, or currency controls is highly valuable.
  • Experience building, converting, or modernizing corporate-action processing, security master systems, or self-clearing back-office infrastructure is an advantage.
  • Familiarity with correspondent, broker-as-a-service, or B2B2C financial models is a plus.
  • Experience using AI tools such as Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or custom agents for product documentation, data exploration, incident analysis, prototyping, or workflow improvement is desirable.
  • Ability to work effectively in a globally distributed environment while demonstrating curiosity, empathy, accountability, and strong ownership.
