JOB OVERVIEW

The Director - Margin & Options Operations leads the team that runs margin and options operations at ETC Brokerage Services, LLC (ETCB), a FINRA-registered, SEC-regulated self-clearing broker-dealer. The Director owns day-to-day execution, risk oversight, and the control environment for both products, serves as the senior operational decision-maker in high-risk or time-sensitive events, and is the primary escalation point for severe margin or options issues. The role works with Trading, Compliance, Legal, Product, Engineering, and external vendors and clearing organizations.

RESPONSIBILITIES & DUTIES

  • Lead, coach, and cross-train margin specialists, options specialists, and cross-trained generalists.
  • Set roles, SLAs, escalation paths, and coverage models, including for expirations and volatile markets.
  • Own daily Reg T, maintenance, house, and day-trade call workflows, debit balance monitoring, and liquidation timelines.
  • Approve margin requirement changes, extensions of time, and exceptions within delegated authority.
  • Monitor concentration, liquidity, and volatility risk, and partner with Finance and Compliance on margin interest rates and house margin policy.
  • Oversee the options lifecycle: position comparison, exercise and assignment, expiration-day risk reviews, OCC file submission, specific deposits, and LOPR submissions.
  • Review and resolve uncovered or at-risk options positions.
  • If designated by the firm, serve as Registered Options Principal.
  • Define and monitor key risk indicators and operational metrics, and lead root-cause analysis on incidents, trade breaks, and risk events.
  • Own the operational control environment for margin and options, and prepare the team for audits, internal and external reviews, and regulatory examinations.
  • Serve as the operational contact for vendors and for OCC.
  • Collaborate with internal and external auditors to provide data and information.
  • Follows assigned work schedule with regular and predictable attendance.
  • Performs other duties as assigned.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 5–10+ years of experience in brokerage or clearing operations, ideally at a broker-dealer or custodian.
  • Hands-on management of margin operations and options operations, including OCC workflows and reconciliation.
  • Experience leading small, specialized teams in high-risk, high-volume environments.
  • Working knowledge of Reg T, FINRA Rules 4210 and 2360, and SEC Rule 15c3-3.
  • Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, or a related field. An advanced degree is preferred.

PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATIONS

  • Series 7
  • Series 4 (Registered Options Principal), if the role carries that designation
  • Series 24 preferred
  • If you do not already have a Securities license relevant to your role at Innovayte, you may be required to take and pass the Securities Industries Essentials exam provided by FINRA. In addition, based on your role responsibilities, you may also be required to pass additional Securities Industry exams to allow you to operate in your role and be compliant with FINRA and the SEC requirements. These licenses, when required, need to be obtained within certain specific time frames, typically 120 calendar days.

TECHNICAL SKILLS

To be successful in this role, you should have experience with and an understanding of the following:

  • Margin and options risk data, interpretation, and escalation.
  • FIS Phase3, Sterling OMS and risk tools, OCC ENCORE, and DTC/NSCC processes.
  • Strong documentation and audit-readiness discipline.

ROLE OF A MANAGER

If your role entails supervising or managing other employees, you have the privilege of helping mold and develop the next generation of leaders within Innovayte. It is therefore critically important to ensure your associates have proper training, ongoing monitoring of their functions and timely coaching. As a regulated firm, managers are also responsible for maintaining effective training programs for their associates and departmental procedures that are current, reflective of the activities within the domain including risk management over such activities. Managers are equally responsible for ensuring that the department’s supervision of regulated activities is accurately reflected in the firm’s central supervisory procedures and disseminated within the department.

  • service,

  • trust, and
  • accountability

are essential to achieving our mission. These values guide us in everything we do, from daily interactions to strategic decisions. We’re looking for individuals who not only share these principles but are excited to bring them to life in meaningful ways.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
