Operations Officer in Zurich

CoinUnited has been building since 2018, running one platform that reaches crypto, stocks, indices, forex, commodities and pre-IPO markets around the clock. As an Operations Officer on the Zurich team, you keep daily processes running cleanly and unblock the people who depend on them. This is hands-on work keeping daily operational processes running cleanly.

This role is based in our Zurich office. The desk runs on Central European Time, covering the SMI and Swiss equities from the SIX open. Zurich also covers the franc, which behaves differently from the other European currencies we offer: it is where flow goes when traders want out of risk, so this desk is busiest on the days the rest of the market is falling.

About CoinUnited.io

CoinUnited.io is a crypto-powered trading platform, building since 2018, with teams across 19 countries. We give traders one account to reach global markets around the clock: crypto, stocks, indices, forex, commodities and pre-IPO.

What you'll do

• Own the day-to-day operational processes that keep trading, support and internal teams moving, and document how each one actually works.
• Monitor live workflows for bottlenecks, errors and delays, then trace each issue to its root cause and resolve it.
• Coordinate handoffs between teams across different time zones so that work does not stall when one region signs off and another comes online.
• Build and maintain checklists, runbooks and simple tracking so that recurring tasks run the same way every time.
• Track operational metrics and turnaround times, flag anything trending the wrong way, and propose concrete fixes.
• Support 24/7 market operations by helping define escalation paths and making sure the right person is reachable when something needs a fast decision.

What success looks like

In your first six months

• You have mapped the core operational processes you own and removed at least two recurring bottlenecks that were slowing teams down.
• Cross-team handoffs you coordinate happen on time and without dropped tasks, with a clear record of who owns what.
• Key operational tasks run from documented runbooks that a teammate can follow without needing to ask you.

What you'll bring

• Comfortable working in-office full-time in a setting where priorities shift through the trading day.
