About Noviam

Noviam is an early‑career talent partner that helps financial institutions build high‑performing teams through a hire‑train‑deploy model designed for long‑term success. We source talent from diverse and often overlooked pipelines, provide targeted training before deployment, and support Analysts throughout their journey to ensure strong performance, faster onboarding, and higher retention. Our mission is simple: create equitable pathways into careers while helping our clients scale with confidence.

We are seeking candidates with 1–3 years of experience in financial services operations, middle office, or a related function
. The ideal candidate brings a foundational understanding of trade processing, operational workflows, and regulatory reporting, and is eager to build on that experience while taking on greater responsibility within a fast‑paced RIA environment.

• Capture, confirm, and settle daily trades across multiple asset classes (equities, fixed income, etc.).
• Monitor settlement cycles and resolve trade breaks or discrepancies promptly.
• Perform daily cash and position reconciliations.
• Investigate exceptions, trade fails, and out‑of‑balance items to ensure accuracy across books and records.

• Support onboarding for new clients, including KYC and AML documentation reviews.
• Maintain account data, documentation, and system setup throughout the client lifecycle.

• Partner with compliance and legal teams to ensure all activities meet SEC and FINRA rules.
• Assist with regulatory reporting requirements such as CAT, TRACE, and other trade‑related filings.
• Adhere to internal control standards and operational risk frameworks.
• Support business continuity efforts and assist in maintaining documented procedures.

• Collaborate with technology, front office, and operations teams to identify automation opportunities and streamline workflows.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance accuracy and scalability.

• You’re comfortable working in high‑volume, time‑sensitive environments and can spot discrepancies quickly.

• Understanding of securities, trade life cycles, and how financial markets operate (coursework or internship experience is a plus).

• You can assess issues, investigate root causes, and communicate findings clearly.

• Familiarity with Excel, data management tools, and (ideally) systems such as DTCC or Bloomberg.
• Ability to learn new systems quickly.

• Excellent communication, organization, and stakeholder‑management abilities.
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

RIA Operations professionals are essential to maintaining the accuracy, integrity, and regulatory compliance of every trade a firm executes. This role sits at the center of a brokerage’s ecosystem; connecting trading desks, compliance, clearing firms, technology teams, and clients.

Your work directly contributes to market stability, client protection, and the smooth functioning of the financial system.

A role in a RIA is a strong launchpad into:

• Compliance & Regulatory Reporting
• Client Services & Onboarding
• Trade Support
• Middle Office & Front Office‑adjacent roles

You’ll gain exposure to multiple teams and business lines, giving you a clear understanding of how a regulated firm operates end‑to‑end.
