Trading Operations & Execution Oversight

• Advise on the end-to-end futures trading operations stack across multiple platforms and different asset classes.
• Advice to oversee aggregate trader activity across futures platforms to understand how the trader population behaves, sim farming detection, how profitable vs unprofitable cohorts operate, and where risk concentrates
• Advise on pattern analysis, odd-trade detection, and gamification reviews to identify behaviour inconsistent with legitimate trading and share what action is recommended.
• Translate complex findings into clear recommendations that inform rule design and risk posture.
• Advice on managing emerging risk patterns before they materialise as losses.
• Help the team create risk scoring frameworks and trader profiles to help department for the broader terms.
• Advise on A-book / B-book routing logic, internalisation strategy, and the conditions under which trader flow is hedged externally.

Risk Framework Design & Margin Oversight

• Propose the architecture of the abuse detection framework, risk parameters, and behavioural constraints that govern the trader population
• Set and review limits at instrument, asset class, client tier, and book level; advise on stress testing and scenario analysis.
• Act as the subject-matter expert for trading and risk infrastructure, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and operational resilience under stress.
• Recommend trader-profile taxonomies that segment the population by strategy, behaviour, and risk contribution.
• Design and supervise risk frameworks covering market exposure, liquidity, basis, and execution risk on the futures book.
• Guide A-book vs. internalisation framework decisions based on cohort behaviour, P&L distribution, and risk concentration — informed by industry practice.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline.
• 8+ years in trading, execution, or risk roles within listed derivatives, with deep expertise in at least two of: equity index futures, rates futures, FX futures, energy futures, or metals futures.
• Direct, hands-on experience with the funded-trader / prop firm model — either inside a futures prop firm or advising one. You understand how this business actually makes and loses money, and where traders find edge against the house.
• Working knowledge of the major players in the futures prop space and a clear view of what each has done well or poorly on risk and rule design.
• Working knowledge of regulated entities under NFA, CFTC, and/or CME Group.
• Sharp judgement on trader-behaviour patterns: sim farming, account cycling, hedging exploits, gap arbitrage, news abuse, micro-scalping concentration.
