Job description

We’re Hiring : Operations Analyst – Options & Derivatives | Australia

Remote | Full-Time | Australian Client

About the Role

We are seeking a meticulous and highly analytical Operations Analyst to join our dynamic Middle Office team. This pivotal role is the backbone of our U.S. Options Trading business, ensuring the integrity, accuracy, and efficiency of the entire trade lifecycle. You will be a subject matter expert in derivatives operations, taking ownership of complex reconciliation processes for our omnibus client accounts and maintaining the precision of our financial ledgers. This is a unique opportunity for a proactive problem-solver to make a significant impact in a fast-paced, technology-driven trading environment.

Trade Lifecycle Management & Support

  • Manage the end-to-end operational workflow for all U.S. exchange-listed options, from trade capture and validation through to clearing, exercise / assignment, and settlement. Ensure timely and accurate booking of all options trades into the firm’s risk and booking systems, resolving any discrepancies with the front office trading team.

Omnibus & Ledger Reconciliation

  • Perform daily reconciliation of positions, trades, and cash balances between our internal, client‑segregated records and the consolidated omnibus accounts held with the OCC.
  • Prepare and post journal entries to the GL related to trading P&L, commissions, and fees, ensuring all financial records are accurate and audit‑ready.
  • Assist in the management and reconciliation of collateral and margin movements with the OCC.
  • Risk Management & Regulatory Compliance

  • Ensure all operational processes adhere to OCC rules and relevant SEC and FINRA regulations (e.g., FINRA Rule 2360).
  • Contribute to the preparation of data for regulatory reports required by the SEC and FINRA.
  • Uphold the firm’s AML / CTF framework by monitoring transactions and escalating suspicious activity as required.
  • Process Optimisation & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Analyse operational data to identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities for process improvement and automation.
  • Collaborate with the technology team to enhance systems, streamline workflows, and support the implementation of new tools or platforms.
  • Maintain and update procedure manuals and control documentation to reflect best practices and regulatory changes.
  • Requirements

    Essential Qualifications & Experience

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
  • 2-5+ years of experience in a Middle Office, Trade Support, or Financial Operations role within a bank, broker‑dealer, or proprietary trading firm.
  • Demonstrable experience with the trade lifecycle of exchange‑traded derivatives, specifically U.S. Options.
  • Proven experience in performing complex reconciliations (position, cash, or trade) in a high‑volume environment.
  • A strong understanding of accounting principles, including debits / credits and the structure of a General Ledger.
  • Familiarity with the U.S. financial regulatory landscape, including the roles of the SEC, FINRA, and the OCC.
  • Fluency in both English is required.
