Compensation and Benefits

About the Role

In this Chicago, IL role, you will be accountable for live cross-asset exposure, instrument-specific mechanics, funding, rolls, execution, and incident controls while supporting Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules. The work requires direct communication, explicit limits, and records that remain useful after market conditions change.

Chicago Operating Focus

The Chicago opening emphasizes derivatives-aware review, pre-open preparation, and controlled live-market escalation. The Central Time window connects overnight futures behavior, the equity open, listed-derivative activity, and the afternoon cash close in one working day. The role must separate information that transfers across instruments from relationships that only appear during a short regime. Any production response needs an owner, a limit, and a review time. For this role, that means direct ownership of cross-asset exposure, funding and roll events, execution quality, and venue-specific risk during Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules.

First Review Cycle

Your first documented cycle for the Chicago, IL opening will test the operating process for cross-asset exposure, funding and roll events, execution quality, and venue-specific risk during Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules. The objective is a reproducible baseline, not a quick narrative. Your initial work includes this task: Lead incident review and operating-control improvements. It also includes this task: Manage live exposures and instrument-specific risk limits. The Chicago opening emphasizes derivatives-aware review, pre-open preparation, and controlled live-market escalation. The review must preserve the timing and source of each important input. The final record separates completed work, open research, and live operating risk.
