The opportunity

This role leads Cashiering and Treasury operations for a fast-growing broker-dealer. The leader owns how client money moves in and out of the firm and how that movement is controlled, and owns the operations side of the money movement roadmap with Product and Engineering. The firm is growing quickly, and this leader is expected to scale the function through automation rather than proportional headcount. We're open to this role being Manager, Sr Manager, or Director level depending on experience.

This role follows a hybrid schedule, with at least three days per week onsite in our Dallas office.

What you’ll do

Team leadership. Lead a team of four or more and run it as a measured, high-performing function. Define the metrics it operates on (volume, turnaround, error rate, exception aging, cost per transaction) and use them to manage staffing, quality, coaching, and performance.
Money movement operations. Oversee daily check, wire, ACH, debit card, checkbook, and deposit operations, along with the bank and vendor relationships, cutoffs, and service levels behind them.
Treasury and liquidity. Deliver accurate, on-time cash positioning and funding inputs for liquidity forecasting and bank account funding, and partner with Finance and Treasury on funding decisions and escalations.
Controls and exams. Own the function’s controls: daily cash and bank reconciliations with exception escalation, SEC Rule 15c3-3 reserve inputs, principal approval of disbursements, and AML, OFAC, and fraud escalation. Serve as the point of contact for audits and regulatory exams that touch money movement.
Roadmap and automation. Drive the money movement roadmap with Product and Engineering: set priorities, write requirements, test releases, and roll changes out to the team. Use automation and AI directly to remove manual reconciliation, exception handling, and case work as volume grows.
Procedures and readiness. Keep procedures current as systems change, and prepare the function for new products and client growth before they go live.

What you bring

Experience. Cashiering, treasury, or money movement operations at a broker-dealer, clearing firm, custodian, or bank. Manager: 4+ years, including 2+ years directly managing a team. Senior Manager: 5+ years, including 3+ years managing. Director: 8+ years, including 5+ years managing, with experience leading a function through an audit or regulatory exam.
Reconciliations and controls. Has built, run, and supervised daily cash and bank reconciliations at scale, and designed controls that held up under audit and regulatory exam.
Payments expertise. Deep experience with check, wire, ACH, and debit card operations, and strong knowledge of the NACHA Operating Rules.
Regulatory knowledge. Working command of SEC Rule 15c3-3 and Regulation E, and practical experience identifying money movement red flags and handling AML and OFAC escalations.
Retirement accounts. Solid knowledge of retirement account contribution and distribution rules, including withholding and tax reporting.
Technology and AI. Track record of partnering with Product and Engineering to ship money movement capabilities and automation. Writes clear requirements, runs user acceptance testing, and is comfortable in SQL or low-code tools. Heavy daily user of AI tools, with concrete examples of manual work it eliminated.
Licensing. Manager: FINRA Series 7 required at start, Series 24 within 120 days of hire. Senior Manager and Director: Series 7 and Series 24 required at start.
