Your Role:

Alpaca is growing its Treasury function as we scale our product suite, global footprint, and self-clearing operations. We are looking for a Financial Risk Manager to support the development and day-to-day execution of Alpaca's liquidity risk monitoring and stress testing program.

This is a hands‑on, analytical role for someone who wants broad exposure across Treasury, Finance, Operations, and Risk. You will work closely with the Head of Treasury and partner cross functionally to help maintain sound liquidity governance and produce rigorous analysis under both business‑as‑usual and stressed conditions. This role is responsible for building out Alpaca's liquidity risk infrastructure from the ground up.

You will establish daily liquidity reporting, streamline data pipelines, implement intraday monitoring and stress testing capabilities, develop longer‑term and Monte Carlo‑based stress testing frameworks, and build the alerting and controls needed to support Treasury decision‑making as Alpaca launches new products and expands into new markets.

While the title reflects managerial scope over liquidity risk and stress testing work streams, this is primarily an individual contributor role with opportunity to grow into broader leadership as the function matures.
