Head of Custody and Clearing
Location: Austin, TX
Full-time | Regulated Banking | Core Operations Role
This is your opportunity to step into a foundational U.S. role for the most established Cayman Islands bank serving private equity and alternative asset clients globally. With its first U.S. national bank now live and based in Austin, this hire will lead the U.S. buildout of securities operations, owning the clearing and custody processes from day one.
We’ve already placed the CFO, COO, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Risk Officer, and the broader operations and risk teams. This role is the next critical layer. You’ll report into the COO and take full ownership of how securities are settled, recorded, and safeguarded across both listed and private investments.
The U.S. entity is OCC-approved, AML/KYC compliant, and already onboarding institutional clients. The clearing and custody function is operational—but early. You’re not inheriting someone else’s mess. You’re building it properly.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t legacy banking. It’s institutional custody and clearing infrastructure built for the private capital markets. Clients onboarding here typically bring $50 million or more in assets. You’ll be handling real scale, across real accounts, with direct visibility into global activity.
You’ll work with the COO and interface with counterparts in Cayman, Luxembourg, and Ireland as part of a global platform. You’ll also collaborate with legal, risk, and compliance as new securities products and client types come online.
This is a hands-on, high-trust role where your decisions shape how the U.S. platform operates.
This Role Is Not for Everyone
This is not a compliance or BSA/AML role. It’s also not a legacy back office function buried in layers of approvals. We’re looking for someone who has built or scaled operational processes around clearing, custody, and trade settlement—and who understands the standards expected by institutional clients.
If you’re coming out of a custodian, a clearing firm, or a prime broker—this will feel familiar. If you’ve only ever sat in compliance or finance, it won’t.
You might be a:
If that sounds like you, this is your chance to shape how clearing and custody works inside a live, regulated U.S. bank—before it scales.
