Technical Project Manager, Trading Operations at Nascent

<p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>The Opportunity</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Nascent is building at the frontier of AI-native trading. Our ability to capture edge is gated by how fast we can get new venues live. As a Technical Project Manager for Trade Operations, you will own execution of exchange onboarding, brokerage integration, and vendor coordination — the work that determines whether our strategies can trade.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">This is not a role for tracking tickets or running standups. You will drive complex work from zero, coordinating across engineering, operations, and external counterparties to reach operational readiness on timelines that matter.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">You sit at the intersection of technical systems and external stakeholders, navigating the messy reality of exchange connectivity — KYC/KYB workflows, API integrations, prime brokerage relationships, and unstructured dependencies that come with bringing a venue online. You will build tools and use AI to eliminate manual coordination. The team is small, the autonomy is real, and you are accountable for outcomes, not process.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">If you need structure handed to you, this is not the role.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">This is a high-leverage position for someone who operates well in ambiguity and wants direct impact on a trading firm’s ability to deploy capital. If you have worked in trade operations and wished you could redesign the workflows yourself — with AI, custom tooling, and no bureaucracy — this is that role.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">This role is fully remote and operates within +/- 3 hours of EST.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Own the full lifecycle of exchange onboarding – from initial application and KYC/KYB through API connectivity testing to production go-live – ensuring the firm can trade on new venues as fast as operationally possible.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Coordinate across engineering, operations, compliance, and counterparties to remove blockers and drive integrations to completion.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Manage relationships with exchanges, brokerages, prime brokers, and vendors, ensuring they deliver on timelines.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Build internal tooling, dashboards, and automated workflows — including AI/LLM systems — to track progress, surface blockers, and reduce manual work.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Create repeatable processes for operational work that lacks playbooks, adding structure without adding overhead.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Evaluate and integrate vendors for operational infrastructure, prioritizing speed and technical fit over process.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Identify and resolve operational risks early — across exchange requirements, regul
