Your Role Own the corporate actions product lifecycle at a rapidly scaling self-clearing broker-dealer. Your mission is to build and operate the systems, vendor relationships, and processes that keep Alpaca accurate, compliant, and on time across every corporate action, from announcement ingestion and entitlement calculation through processing, reconciliation, and client credit. You will ensure that corporate action operations scale reliably as Alpaca adds new event types, asset classes, international markets, and partner institutions.

Over time, you will have the opportunity to grow into broader ownership across clearing and post-trade infrastructure: security master, ledger integrity, multi-market readiness, and the platform foundations that keep brokerage, custody, and books and records in sync.

Build announcement review workflows and establish trustworthy announcement data as a prerequisite for automation. - Automate Safely: Design staged automation for mandatory corporate actions and pre-reconciliation. - Operations & Observability: Deliver entitlement worksheets, partial processing (process selected accounts or correspondents while excluding problematic ones), and dashboards for processing time, load, progress, and credited amounts.. - Global & Partner Readiness: DCoordinate the corporate-action work required for newly launched international markets. - Upstream Data Governance: Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to prevent conflicts across Security Master, brokerage, and ledger systems. Who You Are (Must-Haves) - Corporate Actions Domain Expertise: Deep working knowledge of brokerage corporate action processing — announcement sources, record/ex/pay dates, entitlements, mandatory vs. voluntary events.
