As a comprehensive solution for all digital asset strategies from start to scale, FalconX operates as the connective tissue empowering clients with seamless navigation through the ever-evolving cryptocurrency landscape.

Role Overview

As a Digital Asset Trade Operations Specialist, you will manage end-to-end settlement workflows, safeguard ledger integrity, and act as the primary operational point of contact for institutional counterparties.

Key Responsibilities

Counterparty & Settlement Management: Serve as the main operational contact for an assigned portfolio of institutional counterparties. Execute trade settlements within agreed SLAs and track operational performance against KPIs.

Reconciliation & Data Integrity: Perform daily multi-system reconciliations across internal ledgers and external platforms (custodians, exchanges, banking partners). Swiftly identify, investigate, and resolve breaks to ensure 100% data accuracy.

Treasury & Inventory Monitoring: Track daily inventory requirements for trading, settlement, lending, and borrowing activities. Partner directly with Treasury Management to optimize asset location and liquidity.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside Trading, Product, and Customer Success teams to understand client needs, refine execution workflows, and deliver a best-in-class institutional trading experience.

Accounting & Financial Reporting: Ensure complete and timely transmission of trade, settlement, and fee data to the Accounting team for accurate end-of-day positioning and ledger closing.

Risk, Compliance & Controls: Provide operational inputs to Risk and Compliance teams to build pragmatic, scalable controls that adapt to an evolving regulatory landscape.

Process Optimization: Continuously evaluate current operations to identify coverage gaps, automate manual touchpoints, and harden reconciliation frameworks against operational errors.

Key Requirements

Professional Experience: 4-8 years in middle office, trade operations, or settlements at an Investment Bank, Hedge Fund, Proprietary Trading Firm, or Digital Asset Brokerage.

Domain Passion: Strong desire to build deep expertise in digital asset market structures, blockchain mechanics, and protocols (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, layer-1/layer-2 networks, custodial infrastructure).

Process & Work Discipline: Meticulous organizational skills with a habit of using structured workflows, checklists, and operational metrics to drive execution.

High-Pressure Execution: Ability to prioritize effectively, multitask under tight settlement windows, and remain decisive in a dynamic environment.
