In this role, you will own the design, implementation, and ongoing oversight of the firm's risk management framework. You will identify, assess, monitor, and escalate material risks across the futures business, including market, credit, liquidity, operational, technology, model, vendor, clearing, margin, concentration, and regulatory risk.

You will prepare and present risk reports, dashboards, escalations, and governance materials to senior management, board-level stakeholders, committees, and relevant control functions. You will maintain a regulator-ready risk program and support interactions with the CFTC, NFA, exchanges, clearing organizations, auditors, and other external stakeholders in coordination with Compliance and Legal. You will stay informed of futures industry developments, regulatory expectations, market structure changes, and emerging risks, and proactively evolve the risk program as Webull Futures LLC scales.
