Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced, detail-oriented Senior Futures Risk Analyst to join our Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM") risk management team in Jersey City/Dallas. This individual-contributor role is responsible for monitoring client and proprietary risk exposures, administering trading and credit controls, evaluating margin and collateral adequacy, and escalating emerging market- and credit-risk issues in a timely manner.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in futures clearing or FCM risk operations, including intraday margin monitoring, position-limit oversight, credit controls, and risk escalation procedures. This role will work closely with Clearing Operations, Compliance, Finance, Technology, and business stakeholders to support a disciplined and scalable futures risk-control environment.
Primary Responsibilities
- Monitor real-time and end-of-day market, credit, margin, and liquidity exposures across client accounts and proprietary positions.
- Execute established risk-monitoring procedures; identify, investigate, document, and escalate risk-limit breaches and unusual account activity promptly.
- Administer CME Globex Credit Controls ("GC2"), including setting and maintaining approved pre-trade exposure and maximum-order-quantity limits for futures and options.
- Evaluate client margin adequacy, including initial and maintenance margin requirements, variation margin, intraday deficits, and collateral coverage.
- Monitor stress-testing and Value-at-Risk ("VaR") results; identify portfolio vulnerabilities and escalate material adverse-risk scenarios.
- Monitor exchange-imposed and firm-specific position limits, accountability levels, and reportable-position thresholds; investigate and escalate potential breaches.
- Assess the quality, eligibility, concentration, liquidity, valuation, and applicable haircuts of margin collateral.
- Investigate risk alerts that may arise from stale prices, erroneous ticks, feed disruptions, position-data issues, or other market-data-integrity concerns; distinguish genuine risk events from data-driven false signals.
- Execute risk escalation procedures, including trading restrictions, credit-limit changes, and support for partial or full account liquidations in accordance with delegated authority and firm policy.
- Monitor upcoming market-risk events-including economic releases, geopolitical developments, contract expirations, delivery periods, and market holidays-and recommend appropriate adjustments to risk parameters or monitoring thresholds.
- Partner with Clearing Operations, Compliance, Finance, Technology, and the business to resolve risk issues and improve control effectiveness.
- Prepare daily risk reports, exception logs, incident summaries, and management reporting.
- Participate in risk-control testing, procedure development, system enhancements, and regulatory or internal-audit requests.
