Fixed Income Operations Analyst

About the role

Founded 20 years ago and headquartered in Chicago, the DV Group of financial services firms has grown to more than 600 people operating throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Since spinning out of a large brokerage firm in 2016, DV Trading has rapidly scaled as an independent proprietary trading firm utilizing its own capital, trading strategies, and risk management methodologies to provide liquidity to worldwide financial markets and hedging opportunities to commodity producers and users. Now, DV group affiliates include two broker dealers, a cryptocurrency market making firm, and a bourgeoning investment adviser. As an Operations Analyst, your work will involve monitoring the DTCC clearing fund, assessing settlement risk, reconciling and clearing same-day settlement trades, and balancing bank figures. In this role, you'll collaborate closely with teams across treasury, technology, and operations. Success in this fast-paced environment requires a high level of professionalism and attention to detail.
