Business Operations Manager / Director – FCM & Brokerage Operations

The Role: We’re seeking a Business Operations Manager or Director, based on experience, to own, and scale OG Broker’s B2B client onboarding, contract listing, and partnership operations. This high‑impact role sits at the intersection of commercial, legal, compliance, product, and technology, ensuring institutional clients move efficiently from signed agreement to successful launch. You’ll lead institutional client onboarding, strengthen and automate operational workflows, and serve as a trusted strategic partner to B2B clients. The ideal candidate is comfortable solving ambiguous problems, pushing back with judgment and diplomacy, and driving measurable process improvements across a highly regulated business.

What You’ll Do: Own end‑to‑end B2B client onboarding, from initial engagement and contract execution through technical integration, operational readiness, and go‑live. Serve as the primary operational point of contact for institutional clients, including brokers, FCMs, introducing brokers, and other market participants. Coordinate contract listing, account setup, credentialing, and related operational processes in partnership with legal, compliance, product, and technology, to deliver a seamless and scalable client experience. Identify onboarding bottlenecks, design pragmatic solutions, and drive execution from recommendation through implementation. Develop and maintain operational playbooks, process documentation, SLAs, escalation paths, and client readiness materials. Track and report onboarding pipeline status, client health, operational risks, and KPIs to leadership and cross‑functional stakeholders. Represent OG Broker in client‑facing discussions, including navigating negotiations, resolving issues, and prioritizing conversations with sound judgement and credibility. Build strong client relationships, anticipate operational risks, and resolve issues before they elevate.

Direct exposure to institutional clients is required. Experience with CFTC‑regulated entities, including CME, derivatives exchanges, clearing houses, futures commission merchants (FCMs), introducing brokers, swap dealers or other comparable regulated market structures is highly valued. Deep knowledge of prediction market contracts, UpDown options, Strike Options, margined derivatives, perpetuals, or similar products across multiple asset classes is a strong plus.
