About The Position

The Trade Desk Associate supports the live trading desk during core U.S. trading hours from the firm’s Miami Beach office. The associate monitors order flow, positions, risk limits, client accounts, and trading-system health; identifies and responds to unusual or problematic orders and alerts; and coordinates issue escalation with trading, compliance, and technology teams. After passing required licensing exams, the associate also communicates directly with institutional and retail clients about orders, executions, and account status through approved, recorded channels.

The role includes account onboarding support, detailed incident and action logging, and handoffs between overnight, core-hours, and evening coverage teams. The firm provides systems training and study support for the SIE and Series 7 exams, with additional licenses potentially required. As the associate develops, responsibilities may expand to client relationships and sales. This is an entry-level opportunity; recent graduates are welcome.
