About The Role & Team


The Margin & Credit Risk Senior Associate will play a critical role in preserving the firm’s capital by monitoring and managing margin exposures, conducting credit assessments, and ensuring adherence to regulatory and internal risk governance standards. Positioned in a middle-office capacity, the associate will act as a first responder to emerging exposures, collaborate closely with senior risk officers, and partner with business units to proactively mitigate risk. A strong grasp of equity and derivatives markets, capital markets dynamics, and brokerage operations is essential.


In This Role, You Will

  • Margin Risk Management
    • Oversee daily monitoring of client margin accounts, ensuring compliance with Regulation T, FINRA margin rules, and firm-specific parameters.
    • Identify, escalate, and resolve margin deficiencies in real time; implement tailored liquidation or restriction strategies when necessary.
    • Manage corporate action workflows with a focus on accurate margin recalculations and timely risk adjustments.
  • Credit Risk Assessment
    • Conduct detailed creditworthiness reviews for clients and counterparties, analyzing portfolio composition, leverage, and market sensitivity.
    • Maintain and enhance credit risk models, incorporating market stress scenarios and historical volatility data.
    • Track firm and counterparty risk limits, promptly escalating breaches to senior management.
  • Regulatory Compliance
    • Maintain deep familiarity with Regulation T, Market Access Rules, and relevant FINRA/SEC frameworks. Portfolio Margin Experience also preferred.
    • Proactively interpret and apply evolving regulatory guidance to the firm’s margin and credit programs.
    • Contribute to the drafting and enhancement of risk management policies, ensuring alignment with industry best practices.
  • Risk Analysis & Reporting
    • Synthesize complex market and exposure data into actionable insights for senior leadership.
    • Perform order-level and portfolio-level scenario analysis, including intraday stress testing under adverse market conditions.
    • Develop concise, data-driven reports for Risk, Compliance, and Executive Committees.
  • Collaboration & Communication
    • Serve as a risk liaison to trading, operations, compliance, and technology teams to ensure coordinated risk mitigation.
    • Engage with clients and introducing brokers on margin calls, credit terms, and exposure inquiries.

 

The Skills You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related quantitative discipline.
  • 4-7 years of experience in margin, credit, or market risk at a broker-dealer, clearing firm, or investment bank.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in credit risk methodologies, market risk analysis, and trade lifecycle controls.
  • Working knowledge of equity derivatives, global market structure, and capital markets instruments.
  • Strong analytical skills
  • Series SIE and Series 7 licenses required; additional FINRA licenses preferred.

 

What Makes You Stand Out

  • Familiarity with institutional trading workflows and market infrastructure.
  • Experience with Bloomberg, Refinitiv Eikon, or equivalent market analytics platforms.
  • Prior exposure to counterparty risk management and collateral optimization.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level presentations.
