About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Evaluate the existing DCO clearing environment and identify what needs to be built, improved, or replaced to support scale
Own clearing-related SOPs, runbooks, escalation paths, and internal documentation — if a process doesn't have a document, you write it; if it's outdated, you fix it
Partner daily with Control Desk, Clearinghouse, DCM, DCO, Finance, Treasury, Compliance, Product, Engineering, the ISV team, and CX to keep clearing operations running and drive improvements across all touch points
Serve as the operational thought leader for client-facing process quality — translate user pain points into process improvements and SLA enhancements, and close the loop between what clients experience and how the back office operates
Support treasury management, cash movement, reconciliation, settlement, and liquidity workflows; understand where the money is at every point in the lifecycle
Define and operate within SLAs — where they don't yet exist, propose them, document them, and hold the organization to them
Identify operational gaps, control weaknesses, and tooling deficiencies; bring problems forward with proposed solutions, not just observations
Partner with Product and Engineering to build and improve clearing tools, exception management workflows, dashboards, and operational controls
Support issue triage and resolution across clearing, settlement, treasury, and exchange operations — stay calm when things go sideways and move quickly to resolve
