Permanent Operations Associate
The Operations Associate will work with the Head of Operations and the Director of Marketing to create accounts for newly-hired traders, and to support existing traders with account maintenance. Specifically, as the Operations Associate, you will:
- Open and maintain trading accounts at various brokerage and clearing firms
- Field requests from energy traders regarding membership at energy derivative exchanges
- Assist with maintenance and requests regarding various exchange memberships
- Coordinate with our infrastructure and systems teams
- File necessary documents with regulatory agencies
- Perform other tasks as requested by the Head of Operations
Qualifications:
While work experience in the financial sector is not required, any working knowledge of the field is a plus. You should be available to start work as soon as possible, and you should be:
- Smart. A bachelor’s degree is required, as is sound judgment.
- An exceptional communicator. Whether you are negotiating a brokerage agreement or liaising between our traders, you must be comfortable tactfully standing your ground, but you must also know when to remain flexible.
- Professional and discrete. You will be managing important relationships and sensitive information.
- Extremely organized and meticulous. As you will be coordinating projects across teams with minimal oversight, we expect you to follow up with others, not vice-versa.
- Motivated to find the best solution (not necessarily the easiest) to problems of all sizes.
Benefits:
Our offices are located in TriBeCa in downtown Manhattan. While we work hard, our cubicle-free office and jeans-clad workforce reflect the premium we place on quality of life. In addition to parties on our garden roofdeck, we offer:
- Competitive salary
- Five weeks of paid vacation per year (plus 10 paid holidays)
- Free breakfast, lunch, and snacks on a daily basis
- Free gym membership
- Free tickets to New York City events, including the US Open, TriBeCa Film Festival, and Shakespeare in the Park
