Covered Call Strategist (Remote, Funded Options Trader) — Kansas City, MO

A covered call strategist at Maverick runs an income overlay on firm equity holdings. The role isn't about picking the next moonshot stock - it's about managing a portfolio of quality names and systematically generating premium against them. Done well, the strategy compounds an equity portfolio's return without taking on the open-ended risk of naked short calls. Kansas City, MO: Kansas City hosts the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (one of the 12 regional Fed banks), American Century Investments, and H&R Block's headquarters. The financial-services labor market is stronger than the metro's size suggests, and Central Time alignment with US markets is clean. What you'll trade: Covered calls on firm-held equity positions, predominantly large-cap dividend-paying names and quality growth stocks. Some traders also run cash-secured puts on names they would be willing to own - the 'wheel' approach - to enter equity positions at a discount. Risk framework: Covered calls cap upside on the underlying - that's the trade. The risk is leaving large gains on the table when overwritten strikes are blown through. Maverick traders manage this by tiered coverage (only writing against a portion of a position) and by sizing call strikes based on the underlying's expected move and the trader's directional view. Why Maverick funds this role: Covered call programs are a legitimate institutional strategy run by major asset managers. The retail version is often poorly executed - wrong strikes, wrong sizing, wrong expirations. Maverick funds traders who run the strategy with institutional discipline against firm capital. Traders who already think in portfolio terms - not single-position P&L People comfortable with a strategy whose returns are bounded but steady Candidates with a value-investing or income-investing background Traders who can resist the urge to chase higher premium by selling deep-ITM or far-OTM calls #J-18808-Ljbffr Maverick Trading
