Description

  • Lead the Corporate Actions organization across mandatory and voluntary events, including dividends, splits, mergers, exchanges, tenders, rights, redemptions, spin-offs, elections, and security lifecycle changes.
  • Own the supervisory framework for Corporate Actions, including maker-checker standards, control gates, reconciliations, exception management, escalation thresholds, and review evidence.
  • Ensure timely, accurate processing of events and prevent material events from advancing without required supervisory and system checks.
  • Own Corporate Actions incidents from containment through root cause analysis, remediation, and permanent control or system improvements.
  • Partner with Security Master, Trading, Ledger, Product, Engineering, and Operations leaders to eliminate recurring failures and strengthen controls.
  • Drive automation, observability, reconciliation, and exception tooling to reduce manual work and improve scalability.
  • Build a global operating model across markets, custodians, depositories, currencies, tax regimes, deadlines, and local conventions.
  • Develop the Corporate Actions team and reduce reliance on tribal knowledge.
  • Establish controls over event terms, eligible positions, entitlements, elections, withholding, cash, stock, fractions, and exceptions.
  • Oversee controlled booking and post-processing reconciliation across internal systems and external authoritative sources.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of Corporate Actions experience in a broker-dealer, clearing firm, custodian, bank, or similar financial institution.
  • Prior leadership experience managing a Corporate Actions or securities operations function.
  • Deep hands-on knowledge of mandatory and voluntary Corporate Actions, including dividends, reorganizations, splits, mergers, tenders, rights, redemptions, elections, entitlements, and security lifecycle events.
  • Strong knowledge of U.S. market infrastructure, including DTCC/DTC Corporate Actions processes.
  • Meaningful international Corporate Actions experience across multiple markets, custodians, currencies, withholding regimes, and local market conventions.
  • Deep understanding of how Corporate Actions flow through broker-dealer books and records, position systems, front-office trading systems, margin, and customer balances.
  • Experience operating in a retail brokerage or clearing environment with pre-processing and pre-reconciliation controls before final depository confirmation.
  • Proven experience designing and supervising maker-checker controls, reconciliations, exception-management processes, and operational risk frameworks.
  • Strong incident-management discipline with a track record of permanent process and technology remediation.
  • Ability to partner with Product and Engineering and translate operational risk into scalable system requirements.
  • Clear, concise communication skills for working with senior leadership, auditors, regulators, custodians, and technical teams.
  • Comfortable operating independently in a fast-paced, technology-driven, high-growth environment.
  • Alignment with Alpaca’s company tenets: Stay Curious, Have Empathy, and Be Accountable.
