We at Swissblock are a private investment firm on a mission to lead the way in crypto and cross-asset investing. With a keen understanding that timing is paramount, we employ a systematic approach that combines robust algorithmic trading with exhaustive cross-asset market analysis.
We are seeking an operations professional to bring passion and structure to build the foundations of a new company branch.
The role will require shift work for the first twelve months to help establish and cover operations in the European and US markets.
We are partnering with the best solution providers to make the execution and post-trading workflow as transparent and efficient as possible. The overarching goal is to simplify communication and allow our key resources to focus together on problem-solving whilst considering automation.

* Managing all related layers of complexity involved in daily positions and cash reconciliation.
* Ensuring consistency of information in OMS to ensure the reliability of mark-to-market PnL.
You will also be interfacing with:
* The technology team, to improve workflow and reporting automation, as well as to increase scalability.
* Our compliance team, particularly with the maintenance of automated order filtering and management of exceptions.
* Treasury activity (collateral and cash-equivalent management), to always allow portfolio managers and executing traders to operate safely.
* Pricing and valuation review flow, focusing on easing communication through common data standards and understanding.
What you’ll bring:
* Proven hands-on experience of at least five years in an operations team with significant flow that includes automated trading.
* Personal hands-on experience of at least three years in the following operations procedures for futures and IRS (in each):
* Handling trade capture (i.e., bookings) and booking amendments in a well-known OMS.
* Performing trade settlement, as well as position and PnL reconciliations.
* Conducting standard line-item management for IRS, such as unwinds and collapses.
* A very good understanding of futures and IRS, including associated operations workflows.
* Strong, clear, and concise verbal and written communication skills in English.
* Willing to relocate to Switzerland (Zurich / Zug area).
Preferred experience:
* Proven hands-on experience in CDS/CDX, FX forwards, and cash equities, especially in credit-related workflows (such as blended-coupon compressions for CDX).
* Experience in collateral management (margin and cash).
* Experience with corporate actions in cash equities.
* Proficiency in German.
