Large-Cap Options Trader (Remote, Funded) — Columbus, OH

A large-cap options trader at Maverick focuses on the most liquid US-listed names — the S&P 100 universe and a handful of additional names with comparable option volume. The role rewards traders who want clean execution, scalable size, and the operational benefits that come with deep option markets (penny-wide spreads, weekly expirations, full strike grids).

Columbus, OH: Columbus hosts the largest concentration of financial‑services employment in the Midwest outside Chicago — Nationwide Insurance is headquartered here, JPMorgan has tens of thousands of employees, and the metro is one of the largest banking back‑office centers in the country. Eastern Time alignment with the NYSE is clean, and the cost of living is among the lowest of any Eastern‑Time US metro.

What you’ll trade: Single‑name large‑cap options across directional, defined‑risk neutral, and event‑driven strategies. The universe is intentionally narrow — typically 30–60 names a trader covers actively — but the depth of each market lets traders run larger positions than would be feasible in mid‑caps.

Risk framework: Large‑cap options markets are deep but not bulletproof — earnings, macro shocks, and single‑name news can still produce 5%+ overnight moves. Maverick caps per‑name notional, per‑name vega, and portfolio‑level Greeks exposure.

Why Maverick funds this role: Large‑cap options are the most institutional segment of US options markets. Maverick funds traders here because the strategies scale — what works in one name can be sized up across the entire watchlist — and the operational quality of the markets supports professional execution.

• Traders who prefer depth of expertise over breadth — knowing 40 names well, not 400 superficially
• People who think in Greeks first, price second
• Candidates who have already run an options book and understand portfolio‑level risk
• Traders who appreciate clean execution and tight spreads
