Securities Operations Specialist

The client is a fintech company building the infrastructure that connects the traditional US securities market with digital assets and commodities markets. The founders are former Wall Street bankers with over a decade each of institutional banking experience and have significant experience bringing innovative financial products to market.

The operations team is core to everything the company does — managing transaction processing, counter party management, and the ongoing obligations of a depositary receipts provider. In this role, you will work directly with the founding team and grow into a senior role as the company scales.

As the Securities Operations Specialist, you are the human control point in the transaction workflow. You will review and approve instructions submitted by institutional counter parties, ensure accuracy at every step, and own operational and regulatory procedure responsibilities.

This is a role for someone who cares about precision. Beyond day‑to‑day transaction oversight, you will manage counter party onboarding, monitor reconciliation processes, and handle the periodic filings and notices that come with operating in a regulated securities environment. You will also work hands‑on with the engineering team to lead automation and process efficiencies.

Counter party Management

• Manage end‑to‑end onboarding of new institutional counter parties — documentation, platform setup, and activation
• Maintain accurate counter party records and ensure settlement details are verified before submission

• Support fee tracking, collection, and reporting in coordination with the transfer agent and accounting teams

Operational Development

• Help build and document the operational playbook — this is a startup, and you will have real input into how the function is structured
• Surface process improvement opportunities to leadership from your day‑to‑day experience
• Grow into a Senior Securities Operations role as the business scales

• 3–10 years of experience in securities operations, trade support, custody, fund administration, or a related financial services role
• Working knowledge of capital markets, securities settlement, and institutional transaction workflows
• Strong attention to detail: precision is non‑negotiable in a regulated securities environment
• Comfortable working within technology‑driven operations platforms and reviewing structured financial data
• Clear written communication: you will correspond directly with institutional counter parties

• Background in transfer agency, transactional banking, broker‑dealer, or custodian in an operations capacity
• Exposure to digital asset or commodity financial products
• Experience at an early‑stage fintech or financial services startup
