We are looking for a technically sharp Liquidation and Custody Back-Office Manager to own the post-trade settlement and securities custody operations of Casa de Bolsa Plata, a new brokerage firm currently in its pre-operational phase, targeting CNBV licensing in the upcoming months and commencement of operations in December 2026.
This is a foundational role: you will define the settlement workflow, establish INDEVAL connectivity, and build the back-office procedures before a single client trade is executed. From Day 1 of operations, you will be responsible for ensuring every trade settles correctly, on time, every time.
If you are a back-office professional who knows DALÍ, CCV, and SPEI/SIAC inside and out, and you want to build something from the ground up, this role is for you.
Challenges that await you:
- Define the settlement workflow and back-office procedures manual
- Establish INDEVAL participant connectivity and test accounts (DALÍ system)
- Configure CCV membership protocols and margin calculation procedures
- Design the client account segregation model per CUCB Art. 80
- Coordinate SPEI/SIAC cash settlement procedures with the firm's banking counterpart
- Participate in the CNBV commencement-of-operations inspection — operations and custody section
- Conduct simulated settlement cycles using internal test trades
- Once live: daily settlement of equity, fixed income, and money market trades via INDEVAL DALÍ; manage failed trades, buy-ins, and settlement exceptions; process corporate actions; submit custody and settlement regulatory reports (CNBV Reports R04, R05)
What makes you a great fit:
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, or a related field
- Minimum 5 years in back-office or custody operations at a casa de bolsa or custodian bank
- Direct, hands-on experience with INDEVAL's DALÍ system — this is non-negotiable
- Working knowledge of CCV (Contraparte Central de Valores) settlement cycles
- Familiarity with SPEI/SIAC for the cash leg of securities transactions
- Comfortable operating under strict T+1/T+2 settlement deadlines
- Advanced english and spanish
Nice to Have:
- Experience setting up INDEVAL connectivity for a new participant
- Familiarity with FIX protocol or OMNet connectivity
- Exposure to CNBV regulatory reporting related to custody (R04, R05)
- Experience joining an institution during its pre-operational or start-up phase
If you want to build a back-office from scratch and become operationally critical to a new player in the Mexican capital markets, we'd love to hear from you.
