About the team
The Options Clearing team sits within Brokerage Operations, the group responsible for how Wealthsimple executes on behalf of clients across billions of dollars a day. We own the full options life cycle — reconciliations, settlements, exercises, assignments and expirations — and make sure every position we hold matches what it should. It's precise, deadline-driven work, and we take it seriously because clients are trusting us with their money.
About the role
Reporting to the Senior Manager, Options Clearing, you'll own the daily execution of reconciliations, settlements, and expirations across our options book. This work protects client assets directly, so accuracy isn't optional — you're the person who catches a break in the data before it becomes a client-facing problem, and who improves the processes that keep pace as the business grows.
What you'll do
Own daily reconciliation, settlement, and expiration processing across the options book, catching and resolving breaks before they reach clients
Act as the team's subject matter expert on OCC and CDCC clearing (including SOLA), covering exercises, assignments, and institutional options transfers
Partner with the Trade Desk, engineering, and other operations teams to resolve trade and position discrepancies and reduce risk
Use data — pivot tables, lookups, and SQL — to find the cause of inefficiencies and fix them
Build and improve the tools and workflows that let the team scale as options volume grows
Develop processes to increase the efficiency of our back-office operations.
Skills you bring:
2+ years handling back-office reconciliations, settlements, or options clearing (OCC/CDCC) at a broker-dealer or registered investment dealer
Comfortable with large data sets — you can take a few thousand rows of position data, find the breaks, and explain what caused them
Working knowledge of SQL, or ready to learn it fast — you'll be querying data daily
Available to support early and late hours on a rotating basis around market events and settlement cycles
A clear communicator who can work easily with trading, product, and operations teams
Nice to have
Progress toward or completion of CSC, DFOL, or similar industry courses
Familiarity with CDS or DTCC settlement
Familiarity with Claude AI or Claude Code
Who you are
Naturally curious — when something looks off, you want to know why
Someone who builds trust with the people around you by being reliable and clear
Are organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to work accurately against tight, non-negotiable deadlines.
Willing to escalate early when something needs it, rather than sitting on it
Genuinely interested in how markets and technology intersect
