The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in futures clearing or FCM risk operations, including intraday margin monitoring, position-limit oversight, credit controls, and risk escalation procedures. This role will work closely with Clearing Operations, Compliance, Finance, Technology, and business stakeholders to support a disciplined and scalable futures risk-control environment.

- Monitor upcoming market-risk events - including economic releases, geopolitical developments, contract expirations, delivery periods, and market holidays and recommend appropriate adjustments to risk parameters or monitoring thresholds.

- Prepare daily risk reports, exception logs, incident summaries, and management reporting.
- Participate in risk-control testing, procedure development, system enhancements, and regulatory or internal-audit requests.

- Practical knowledge of initial margin, maintenance margin, variation margin, intraday margin calls, and end-of-day margin processes.
- Experience monitoring client portfolios for market, credit, margin, concentration, and liquidity risk.
