Atomic Invest is a fast-growing fintech company that powers financial services expansion globally by building critical financial infrastructure for consumer-facing companies to offer frictionless investing experiences. The company has raised $55M in funding and is positioned to rapidly scale.
You will serve as the Principal Operations Officer for Atomic Brokerage, reporting to the Head of Brokerage Operations. This is a hands-on leadership role with direct responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the broker-dealer's books and records, including trade settlement, clearing, corporate actions, account onboarding, and reconciliations.
As a core leader on the operations team, you will work closely with FinOps, compliance, legal, and engineering teams. The role balances hands-on operational execution with strategic building: you will design and strengthen operational controls, supervisory procedures, and automation roadmaps as the company scales its self-clearing infrastructure.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning the end-to-end operational lifecycle for Atomic Brokerage: clearance and settlement, corporate actions processing, account onboarding and maintenance, and daily books-and-records reconciliations
- Serving as a designated supervisory principal for operations functions; writing, maintaining, and defending supervisory procedures in FINRA and SEC examinations
- Supporting FOCUS reporting and net capital compliance by maintaining clean operational data and timely reconciliation of all accounts
- Partnering with engineering to identify automation opportunities across reconciliations, exception queues, corporate actions workflows, and regulatory reporting
- Collaborating with FinOps, compliance, and legal teams on regulatory filings, exam readiness, and control design
- Helping shape the operational design and control environment as the business scales: building processes, procedures, and controls in a fast-moving startup environment
REQUIREMENTS:
- Active Series 27 and Series 24 licenses (Series 63 also required)
- 5+ years of progressive experience in broker-dealer operations, including leadership of an operations team
- Direct hands-on experience running broker-dealer operations at a firm that clears (not supervisory-only background)
- Direct experience with clearance and settlement, and with NSCC and DTC processes, at a self-clearing or correspondent clearing firm
- Experience owning corporate actions and daily books-and-records reconciliations
- Working knowledge of net capital, customer protection (15c3-3), and FOCUS reporting, and how operational breaks flow into them
- Ability to write and maintain supervisory procedures for operations functions and to defend them in a FINRA or SEC exam
- Comfort building processes while the business is still taking shape
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience with InteliClear or comparable clearing and books-and-records platform
- Familiarity with securities lending, repo, options, or margin operations
- Experience working with engineering teams to automate reconciliations, exception queues, and regulatory reporting
- Additional licenses including Series 4, 57, 79, 6, or others
