Flow Traders is looking for an experienced Operations Specialist to join our APAC team in Hong Kong. The ideal candidate is

analytically strong, proactive, and motivated to work in a fast-paced trading environment. This is a unique opportunity to join a

leading proprietary trading firm where operational excellence, automation, and continuous improvement are at the core of how we

work.

The Operations team is responsible for trade lifecycle management, reconciliations, settlement, and control processes that

directly support our trading desks. We are building a team that goes beyond traditional mid/back-office execution: we expect our

specialists to deeply understand process flows and business logic, design better solutions, and leverage AI and other tools to

implement them. What matters most is the ability to analyse how things work, identify what should change, and manage the

migration.

The role sits within our broader first-line controls function, which encompasses our traditional operations function and other

First-Line controls, trade reporting, and data management. As we continue to integrate and develop this function, there are

opportunities to broaden your scope beyond traditional operations into these adjacent areas, offering a varied and rewarding

career path for the right candidate.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Perform daily trade reconciliations, position monitoring, P&L attribution, and cash/cost reconciliation across multiple asset

classes and prime brokers

Investigate and resolve trade breaks, settlement issues, and corporate action events in a timely manner, liaising with

counterparties, custodians, and prime brokers

Analyse existing operational processes end-to-end, map business logic and data flows, and design improved solutions that reduce

manual effort and error rates

Leverage AI-assisted development tools and scripting (Python, SQL) to build and maintain automated reconciliation, reporting,

and control workflows

Manage and improve data pipelines that feed control and reporting workflows, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of

operational data

Support the onboarding of new counterparties, prime brokers, and market connectivity, including SSI setup and operational

readiness testing

Contribute to the APAC delivery of global technology and process improvement projects, collaborating with Technology teams to

define requirements and validate outputs

Monitor and manage operational risk throughout the trade lifecycle, escalating issues proactively and contributing to

root-cause analysis and remediation

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

3+ years of mid/back-office or operations experience, preferably within a proprietary trading firm, hedge fund, or prime

brokerage

Strong technical literacy: you must be able to read, understand, and reason about code (Python, SQL) and data structures,

whether you write it yourself or work with AI tools to generate it

Demonstrated ability to analyse complex process flows, understand the underlying business logic, and translate that into clear,

implementable solution designs

Solid understanding of trade lifecycle processes across listed equities, ETFs, futures, FX, and/or OTC derivatives
Experience with reconciliation frameworks, clearing and settlement workflows, and familiarity with Asian securities markets and

their respective rules

Comfort working with AI-assisted development and productivity tools to accelerate solution delivery
Ability to work with large datasets, perform analysis, and translate findings into actionable process improvements
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with a proactive, assertive, and flexible approach
Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage a diverse range of tasks efficiently in a fast-paced environment
Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

Senior Office Manager

IMC

Hong Kong•Posted: Jun 26•Deadline: Aug 16

ABOUT THE ROLE We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Office Manager to join IMC in Hong Kong at a pivotal moment for the business. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where no two weeks look the same: one day you’re partnering directly with the HK Managing Director on priorities, the next you’re troubleshooting a vendor issue or stepping into a project that wasn’t on last week’s list. You’re someone who thrives in a lean, fast-moving environment or a fast-growing company where you’ve had to figure things out with limited resources and no playbook. You don’t wait to be told what to do, and you’re as comfortable fixing an unexpected problem as running a structured project. You will also directly manage the Office Manager. This position requires full-time on-site presence at our Hong Kong office. YOUR CORE RESPONSIBILITIES Executive Support * Provide direct, hands-on support to the HK Managing Director across a fast-moving and constantly evolving schedule — and be willing to jump in wherever needed. * End-to-end diary, inbox, and stakeholder management, ensuring the MD’s priorities are handled seamlessly. * Coordinate executive travel — flights, hotels, and ground transport — for the MD and senior leaders. * Manage MD expenses and maintain a signatures-pending log for all documents requiring Director-level sign-off. * Prepare executive presentations, reports, briefing packs, and key business communications. * Act as a trusted liaison between the MD, senior leadership team, and external stakeholders, bringing structure and efficiency to a fast-paced environment. Meetings & Events * Lead end-to-end coordination of meetings and key strategic events in Hong Kong, including agendas, materials, minutes, and follow-up actions. * Support the Office Manager with broader event coordination across the HK office. Office Operations & Leadership * Lead the Hong Kong office expansion end-to-end, including post-move coordination and stabilisation, with support from the Sydney Office Management team. * Manage and develop the Office Manager. * Own vendor contract management and support the MD with budget tracking. * Ensure compliance with HK Occupational Safety & Health Ordinance and Labour Department requirements; oversee physical security and access control. YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE * 8–10+ years of progressive experience in office management or executive administration; track record of real ownership and impact matters more than job title. * Proven EA experience supporting executives — end-to-end diary management, travel coordination, and confidential correspondence. * Demonstrated experience leading a complex office move or large-scale facilities project. * Strong vendor management and contract negotiation skills. * Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously under tight deadlines. * Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; comfortable engaging with and influencing senior stakeholders. * Fluent in English; proficiency in Cantonese and/or Mandarin strongly preferred. * High degree of discretion and professionalism when handling confidential matters. * Background in a lean financial services or entrepreneurial environment — hedge fund, private equity, venture capital, family office, or fast-growing start-up strongly preferred. About Us IMC is a global trading firm powered by a cutting-edge research environment and a world-class technology backbone. Since 1989, we’ve been a stabilizing force in financial markets, providing essential liquidity upon which market participants depend. Across our offices in the US, Europe, Asia Pacific, and India, our talented quant researchers, engineers, traders, and business operations professionals are united by our uniquely collaborative, high-performance culture, and our commitment to giving back.
