Job Description

Longbridge is a new-generation, AI-driven online brokerage on a mission to make investing smarter, simpler, and more accessible for everyone. Headquartered in Singapore, we are redefining the investment journey by connecting the stages of 'Discovery to Learning to Trading'. With our proprietary AI assistant, Longbridge AI, and a cloud native infrastructure, we provide retail investors with institutional-grade insights and a seamless global trading network. At Longbridge, you won’t just be working for a brokerage; you’ll be building the future of financial infrastructure.

Responsibilities

SETTLEMENT & TRANSACTION PROCESSING

Multi-market settlement : Direct and supervise the daily processing of settlement (equities, options, CFD, unit trusts, MMF, IPO, and structured products), corporate actions, share/stock transfers, and client cash deposits, withdrawals, and conversions across SG, HK, and US markets, ensuring same-day cut-offs and regulatory timelines are consistently met.

TEAM LEADERSHIP

Team management : Manage a team of Operations Executives across settlement, corporate actions, transfer, and cash operations; allocate workload, build cross training and backup coverage, and eliminate single points of failure in time-critical functions such as same-day settlement and corporate-action deadlines during earnings season.

CONTROLS, PROCEDURES & COMPLIANCE

Control manuals & SOPs : Own and maintain the Operations Control Manuals and Standard Operating Procedures across all functions, ensuring maker-checker controls, escalation matrices, and risk-control measures stay current and aligned with regulatory requirements (SFA 2001, SFR(LCB)); maintain system configurations including market calendars, fee schedules, and processing thresholds.

AML/CFT monitoring : Ensure AML/CFT monitoring is embedded in cash operations workflows, including transaction threshold monitoring and timely escalation of suspicious activity to Compliance, while maintaining segregation between transaction processing and monitoring sign-off.

RECONCILIATION & REPORTING

Reconciliation & reporting : Oversee daily custody/position reconciliation and daily/monthly regulatory and management reporting; ensure unresolved breaks and exceptions are escalated per the escalation matrix and evidenced for audit.

PRODUCT SUPPORT & QUALITY CONTROL

Product transition : Partner with the Head of Operations to convert newly tested products and procedures into business-as-usual operations, including team training and live SOP updates.

Quality control : Provide quality-control, ensuring externally performed work remains within the firm's risk and control framework.

ESCALATION & STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT
