About The Position

Arta is on an audacious and incredibly rewarding mission: to pave the way for people everywhere to lead more successful financial lives. Arta leverages AI and sophisticated digital tools—once reserved for ultra-high-net-worth individuals—and makes them accessible to a broader global audience. Think of it as your own digital family office, combining intelligent investment strategies, alternative assets, private market access, and smart automation to help you grow and protect your wealth effortlessly. We value trust, teamwork, and adaptability. Think: intelligent investing, personalized portfolios, and real-time trading, all backed by robust data infrastructure.
We are looking for an experienced Operations Manager to lead our Operations function in the US. You will play a key role in building a culture of operational discipline within Arta by managing the team that handles our core operational processes which power the end-to-end user journey of our clients. This includes client onboarding, deposits/withdrawals, trading across all our asset classes and monitoring of account activity. In doing so, you will collaborate with both internal (Customer Success, Product, Compliance, Engineering) and external (broker-dealers, fund managers) stakeholders.
The ideal candidate should have an innate curiosity to understand how things work behind-the-scenes and a strong drive for improving processes. They should also be an empathetic mentor who invests in the development of their team members.
