Senior Clearing Analyst

What You'll Do

• Evaluate the existing DCO clearing environment and identify what needs to be built, improved, or replaced to support scale
• Own clearing-related SOPs, runbooks, escalation paths, and internal documentation — if a process doesn't have a document, you write it; if it's outdated, you fix it
• Partner daily with Control Desk, Clearinghouse, DCM, DCO, Finance, Treasury, Compliance, Product, Engineering, the ISV team, and CX to keep clearing operations running and drive improvements across all touch points
• Serve as the operational thought leader for client-facing process quality — translate user pain points into process improvements and SLA enhancements, and close the loop between what clients experience and how the back office operates
• Support treasury management, cash movement, reconciliation, settlement, and liquidity workflows; understand where the money is at every point in the lifecycle
• Define and operate within SLAs — where they don't yet exist, propose them, document them, and hold the organization to them
• Identify operational gaps, control weaknesses, and tooling deficiencies; bring problems forward with proposed solutions, not just observations
• Partner with Product and Engineering to build and improve clearing tools, exception management workflows, dashboards, and operational controls
• Support issue triage and resolution across clearing, settlement, treasury, and exchange operations — stay calm when things go sideways and move quickly to resolve

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in financial markets operations with direct, demonstrated depth across clearing, settlement, and treasury
• Hands-on experience with treasury management, liquidity operations, cash movement, and reconciliation workflows — you understand where the money is and how it moves at every point in the lifecycle
• Strong working knowledge of clearing workflows, trade lifecycle, reconciliation, settlement, operational controls, and escalation management
• Experience operating in regulated financial services environments with a practical understanding of what compliance and control actually require
• Ability to independently create SOPs, process maps, controls documentation, and runbooks — you don't need someone to write the outline
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to work fluidly across business, compliance, finance, and technical teams without losing the thread
• Self-starter mentality — you know what matters and go after it without waiting to be told
• Calm under pressure and able to operate effectively in a high-velocity, high-stakes environment
• (Plus) Experience with futures, options, swaps, derivatives, or other exchange-traded products
• (Plus) Prior experience at an FCM, clearinghouse, exchange, broker-dealer, or regulated fintech
• (Plus) Experience partnering with Product and Engineering to build operational tooling, exception workflows, or internal controls infrastructure
