Program Manager

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of multiple concurrent strategic and operational projects — from initial scoping and planning through execution, tracking, and close-out.
• Build and maintain practical project plans with clear milestones, owners, dependencies, and deadlines; hold stakeholders accountable without creating bureaucratic drag.
• Identify blockers early, escalate with crisp problem statements and proposed solutions, and keep leadership informed without over-reporting.
• Drive projects to completion in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift — adapt quickly and bring clarity when others see confusion.
• Serve as the connective tissue across trading, technology, compliance, operations, and senior management — translating between business and technical teams without losing fidelity.
• Run efficient, outcome-oriented meetings; produce concise status updates that give leadership what they need to make decisions, not lengthy reports no one reads.
• Build trust with internal teams by being reliable, direct, and consistently following through on commitments.
• Manage up and laterally with equal effectiveness — comfortable pushing back on scope creep or unrealistic timelines while maintaining strong relationships.
• Identify operational inefficiencies across the firm and drive practical improvements — not for the sake of process, but to make the business run better and faster.
• Help build scalable infrastructure as the firm grows: workflows, handoff protocols, vendor management frameworks, and cross-functional operating rhythms.
• Document decisions, processes, and lessons learned in a way that actually gets used — clear, accessible, and maintained.
• Manage relationships with external vendors, consultants, and technology providers involved in firm initiatives — keeping them on schedule and accountable to deliverables.
• Support contract and SOW review from an operational standpoint, flagging delivery risks and ensuring third parties understand expectations.
• Support build-outs, migrations, platform implementations, and integrations across trading infrastructure, risk systems, and back-office tools.
• Coordinate firm-wide initiatives tied to new regulatory requirements, NFA/CFTC program builds, and exam readiness — working closely with the compliance team.
• Assist in operationalizing new business lines, market expansions, or product launches from a project coordination standpoint.
• Own ad hoc firm-wide initiatives that fall outside defined functional lanes.

Compliance

• Design, operate, and continuously enhance the firm's trade surveillance program, covering the full spectrum of manipulative and disruptive trading practices including spoofing, layering, wash trading, pre-arranged trading, and banging the close.
• Monitor proprietary trading and IB-introduced order flow for compliance with CFTC Regulation 180.1 (anti-manipulation), 180.2 (price manipulation), and applicable DCM rules.
• Conduct daily, weekly, and periodic reviews of trading alerts generated by surveillance systems; triage, investigate, and document findings with appropriate escalation.
• Maintain comprehensive surveillance logs and investigation records sufficient to demonstrate a robust supervisory system to NFA examiners.
• Liaise with FCM and other exchange surveillance departments in response to inquiries, trading halts, and audit trail requests.
• Own compliance with audit trail, large trader reporting obligations and ongoing position monitoring.
• Monitor and ensure compliance with position limits established FCM across all products traded by the prop desk and IB customers.
• Oversee compliance with NFA requirements for trade record-keeping, including order ticket retention, time-stamping, and voice/electronic communication capture.
• Review IB order routing and execution quality to assess adherence to best execution standards and identify potential conflicts of interest or front-running risk.
• Monitor algorithmic and automated trading strategies deployed by the prop desk for compliance.
• Assess pre-trade and post-trade controls, working with the Risk and Technology teams to ensure kill switch functionality and other required risk controls are operational.
• Conduct thorough investigations of potential trading violations, preparing detailed investigation memoranda with factual findings and recommended disposition.
• Escalate significant findings to the CCO and, where required, support regulatory self-reporting determinations.
• Participate in NFA examinations and CFTC inquiries relating to trading conduct, preparing supporting documentation and presenting surveillance program capabilities.
• Partner with teams to deliver proactive compliance guidance on new strategies, markets, and instruments prior to deployment.
• Work closely with Business Conduct on shared regulatory matters, firm-wide training, and the annual compliance review.
• Collaborate with Technology and Risk on the build-out and ongoing calibration of automated surveillance tooling and alert logic.
