Savvy is a Series B wealth management platform reinventing how independent financial advisors operate. The company provides a modern, AI-native infrastructure for registered investment advisors, enabling advisors to service significantly more households while reducing operational overhead. Savvy has achieved over 500% year-over-year growth and is backed by $105M from top-tier investors including Thrive Capital and Index Ventures.
As Senior Brokerage Operations Manager, you will own the end-to-end trading desk and broker-dealer operations function. This is a high-visibility, senior role reporting as a peer to Legal/Compliance and Business Operations leadership.
Key responsibilities include: building and scaling Savvy's trading desk operation from the ground up, including trade lifecycle management, execution quality oversight, and best execution review; serving as the licensed principal (Series 7/24) of record with personal sign-off authority on trades and exceptions; designing and running the best execution program with accountability to execution venues like Fidelity; owning regulatory trade reporting (CAT/CAIS, Rule 605/606); driving AI and automation opportunities to reduce manual work and scale without proportional headcount growth; serving as the CCO's primary operations counterpart on broker-dealer regulatory matters; resolving supervisory control ambiguities into documented policy; owning FINRA examination readiness including supervisory documentation and audit-trail infrastructure; personally managing escalation and disclosure decisions on regulatory issues; and designing account, cashiering, and compliance operations including money movement approvals, wire controls, and AML alert management.
You must have 6–8+ years of broker-dealer operations experience, including hands-on experience building a brokerage or trading operations function from scratch at an RIA custodian, broker-dealer, or clearing firm. Series 7, 64, and 24 licenses are required. Deep expertise in trade lifecycle, best execution, and regulatory trade reporting is essential. You should be comfortable operating as a senior peer to Legal/Compliance and company leadership, presenting and defending decisions independently. Experience preparing for or supporting FINRA/SEC examinations is required. You must thrive in ambiguity, have an AI-first builder mindset with a track record of automating manual operations work, and ideally come from a high-growth fintech or startup environment.
Nice-to-have qualifications include additional licensing (Series 4, 53, 54, 9/10, or 99) and experience owning a clearing firm relationship such as Fidelity NFS.
