CFO / Finance Lead, FCM

What You'll Do

• Calculate and monitor adjusted net capital, risk-based capital requirements, regulatory haircuts, early-warning thresholds, and internal management buffers on a daily basis
• Own the daily segregation and residual-interest computations, funds-on-deposit tracking, and undermargined customer reporting, ensuring the financial-control framework meets CFTC requirements at all times
• Prepare and file monthly Form 1-FR-FCM reports via WinJammer, coordinate annual FCM audits, and serve as the primary finance contact for NFA and DSRO examinations
• Manage the FCM's standalone monthly close, financial statements, accounting judgments, intercompany balances, allocations, and balance-sheet substantiation
• Report regularly to the FCM CEO and Audit Committee on financial condition, capital adequacy, liquidity, customer-funds protection, and any emerging risks or control issues
• Coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, and the broader Polymarket finance team on entity-level matters, including intercompany arrangements and regulatory capital treatment
• Build and maintain the policies, procedures, and internal controls that underpin the FCM's finance function, with an eye toward examination readiness at all times

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive finance, accounting, or regulatory reporting experience, with meaningful time spent inside a carrying FCM in a hands-on capacity
• Direct experience preparing or reviewing daily segregation computations, residual-interest calculations, and monthly Form 1-FR-FCM filings — not just familiarity with the concepts
• Working knowledge of CFTC financial requirements under Parts 1, 22, and 30, NFA financial requirements, and the WinJammer filing system
• Experience managing or supporting NFA and DSRO examinations and annual FCM audits, including responding to examiner inquiries and remediating findings
• Ability to own a full monthly close and produce standalone financial statements for a regulated entity, including intercompany reconciliation and balance-sheet substantiation
• Clear, direct communication with senior leadership and governing bodies on capital, liquidity, and customer-funds topics, including the ability to flag problems early and explain them plainly
• (Plus) Prior title as FCM Controller, Head of Regulatory Reporting, Regulatory Capital Director, Deputy CFO, or equivalent senior finance leader at a carrying FCM
• (Plus) Experience standing up the finance function for a new FCM or supporting an FCM registration and readiness process from early stages through first examination
