Administrative Assistant IV

A calendar spread options trader at Maverick runs a focused book of time-spread structures — long-dated options sold against short-dated options to exploit term structure, expected price stagnation, or volatility surface mispricings. The role suits traders who think in two-dimensional risk (price and time) and who appreciate the more nuanced Greeks dynamics of multi-expiration positions. Denver, CO: Denver has become one of the fastest-growing financial centers in the Mountain West — Janus Henderson, DST Systems, and several wealth-management firms are based here. The tech sector has expanded rapidly with companies like Palantir relocating headquarters. Mountain Time gives a 7:30am market open with a clean afternoon. What you\'ll trade: Single-name and index option calendars and diagonals on liquid US underlyings. Double diagonals and calendarized iron condors for range-bound expectations with a vol angle. Earnings calendars are a sub-strategy — buying long-dated and selling short-dated through an earnings event, profiting from front-month IV crush. Risk framework: Calendars have a benign-looking risk profile that masks real exposure to vol surface twists. Maverick traders run defined-risk variants only (no naked short legs), cap exposure per underlying, and monitor portfolio-level vega across the book. Why Maverick funds this role: Calendars are a sophisticated niche of options trading that retail platforms rarely teach well. Maverick funds traders here because the strategy diversifies the firm\'s options book and the trader population that runs it well tends to be high-discipline and high-skill. Traders who already think in Greeks and understand vol surface dynamics People comfortable managing positions that require active adjustment rather than set-and-forget Candidates with patience for slower-developing trades — calendars work on a 2–6 week horizon Traders who can model expected P&L outcomes before entering, not just hope for the best #J-18808-Ljbffr
