• Accounting & Financial Reporting: Ensure complete and timely transmission of trade, settlement, and fee data to the Accounting team for accurate end-of-day positioning and ledger closing.
• Risk, Compliance & Controls: Provide operational inputs to Risk and Compliance teams to build pragmatic, scalable controls that adapt to an evolving regulatory landscape.
• Process Optimization: Continuously evaluate current operations to identify coverage gaps, automate manual touchpoints, and harden reconciliation frameworks against operational errors.

Key Requirements

• Professional Experience: 4–8 years in middle office, trade operations, or settlements at an Investment Bank, Hedge Fund, Proprietary Trading Firm, or Digital Asset Brokerage.
• Domain Passion: Strong desire to build deep expertise in digital asset market structures, blockchain mechanics, and protocols (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, layer-1/layer-2 networks, custodial infrastructure).
• Process & Work Discipline: Meticulous organizational skills with a habit of using structured workflows, checklists, and operational metrics to drive execution.
