Junior Operations Associate (2114)

Interactive Brokers LLC ('IB") seeks a Junior-Level Operations Associate to join our Clearing Department. The Clearing Department is responsible for a variety of functions including trade and position reconciliation, settlement processing, stock loan (securities lending) transaction reconciliation, fail management and customer account transfers. Team members will generally gain exposure to all of these functions during their career development. This particular role will specialize in customer account transfers. 
The Associate will be expected to operate, enhance and test the group’s constantly evolving, proprietary back office systems. Analysis of transaction data, settlement risk and other operational risk assessment will be an ongoing responsibility. The ideal candidate will be able to interface seamlessly with internal and external customers, counter-parties and clearing organizations. All associates are expected to focus on automated solutions to complex problems of varying degrees. Skills required include the ability to learn to work with sophisticated computer systems developers, eventually including the creation of business specifications for new or enhanced system functionality and new product support.
IB's proprietary reconciliation systems automatically analyze, compare and match data based on numerous criteria. This leaves only exception based issues to be handled and the Associate will be relied upon as a specialist to address these exceptional issues.
