Full Job Description
The opportunity

Altruist is experiencing an exceptional growth phase, and we're excited to hire a Senior Corporate Actions Analyst to join our expanding Operations team. In this role you will own the full event lifecycle-from announcement through allocation and reconciliation-across equities, ETFs, mutual funds, and fixed income (with expansion into alternatives and listed options). This role is ideal for a growing leader with deep operational and technical knowledge who can lead modernization, automation, and control initiatives.

You'll stabilize and document current workflows, enhance controls and efficiency, and partner cross-functionally to deliver a scalable, audit-ready operation. While people leadership experience is welcome, the emphasis is on subject matter expertise, process optimization, and hands-on ownership.

Your impact
  • Corporate Action Processing: Monitor, review, and process all mandatory and voluntary corporate actions-mergers, splits, rights issues, tender offers, warrants-from announcement through completion.
  • Income Events: Oversee dividends, interest, and related payments; ensure proper withholding, tax treatment, and cost-basis adjustments.
  • Event Lifecycle Management: Manage announcements, options, elections, allocations, entitlements, and reconciliations with accuracy and timeliness.
  • Client & Custodian Coordination: Communicate voluntary event details, collect instructions, and submit elections via custodians, DTCC PBS/CA Web/AIP, or proxy agents within deadlines.
  • Controls & Exception Management: Implement and monitor maker-checker controls, exception dashboards, KPIs, and audit-ready evidence.
  • Automation & Modernization: Partner with Product and Engineering to streamline workflows, UAT new builds, and drive straight-through processing (STP).
  • Risk Management: Identify, escalate, and resolve discrepancies; ensure compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
  • Knowledge Management: Build and maintain robust process documentation, playbooks, and standard operating procedures to support scalability and training.
  • Vendor & System Ownership: Manage key vendor and platform relationships (DTCC, proxy vendors, custodians), and contribute to platform enhancements (FIS, XSP/Phase3, AIP).

What you bring
  • Experience - 3+ years of experience working in brokerage, clearing, or custody operations focused on corporate actions, dividends, or income processing.
    • Strong working knowledge of DTCC PBS
    • Deep understanding of mandatory and voluntary event types, timelines, market standards, and tax/cost-basis implications.
  • Education - Ideally looking for a Bachelors degree or equivalent experience
  • Securities licenses - Series 99 required (or ability to obtain in 90 days); Series 7 preferred.
  • Ownership - The pride you put into every aspect of your work is unparalleled and undeniable
  • Technical Knowledge - Familiarity with SQL, Python or other coding language. Experience with practical usage of AI in daily functions.
  • Superb communication - Intentional dialogue is a superpower. You listen as well as you share your perspective with others.
  • Resilience - We're inspired by your unwavering determination to achieve success, no matter the adversity you face along the way.
  • Assurance - Your confidence is brilliant, yet ego-less. You possess a strong knowledge base, the ability to discover the unknown, and are open to differing perspectives.
  • Creative problem solving - Identifying the problem is simply not enough. You're instinctually creative with your approach in finding solutions to roadblocks.
  • Bonus points if you bring
    • Hands-on experience with FIS and XSP (Phase3/XSP CA platform) strongly preferred
    • Experience with alternatives or OCC option adjustments a plus..
