Build and optimize all operational functions within Tradeify Brokerage, including trade operations and compliance, while leading the development of scalable processes for rapid growth.
Tradeify Brokerage is the next evolution of the Tradeify ecosystem — a modern brokerage built for serious traders. Backed by Tradeify’s high-performance infrastructure and rapidly growing trader base, we are building a platform that combines execution, technology, and user experience into a seamless, scalable product.
This is not a traditional brokerage. We are rethinking how traders interact with markets by delivering speed, reliability, and an elite experience across futures, crypto, and beyond.
We are hiring a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to build and scale the operational backbone of Tradeify Brokerage.
This is a mission-critical leadership role responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing all operational functions across the brokerage — including trade operations, client onboarding, compliance operations, vendor management, and customer support infrastructure.
You will partner closely with the CEO and executive team to translate strategy into execution, ensuring the brokerage operates efficiently, compliantly, and at scale.
This role requires a builder mindset. You will not be stepping into a fully mature system — you will be creating it.
