About EdgeClear

EdgeClear is a Chicago-based futures brokerage, registered with the CFTC and a member of NFA, with a pending application for registration as a non-clearing Futures Commission Merchant (FCM). We combine an experienced brokerage team with proprietary trading and risk technology built on deep professional trading experience.

About the Role

We are hiring a Treasury and Regulatory Reporting Manager to build and run customer fund protection, regulatory capital and treasury operations from day one as an FCM. You will report directly to the CEO and be the firm's main point of contact with auditors and NFA examiners on segregation and capital.

Who This Is For

This is a hands-on role for someone who has prepared these numbers themselves and wants to own the full function at a growing firm. As EdgeClear moves through registration as a non-clearing FCM, you will build our financial and regulatory reporting from the ground up, working directly with senior leadership. For the right person, this role offers rapid growth and a clear path to CFO. We are making an impact on how traders trade and on the industry as a whole and your participation would have a direct influence on that.
