Role Overview
The Senior GTH Operations Manager (Singapore) is an experienced operational leader responsible for the oversight of a newly established operational support unit within Cboe's Singapore office — a strategically critical capability being built in support of Cboe's APAC region and its global follow-the-sun operating model. This individual will play a foundational role in transitioning our existing GTH Operations support function from Sydney, Australia to Singapore, providing direct oversight to both APAC GTH Trade Desk and Operations personnel supporting Cboe’s Data Vantage platforms. This role will also be responsible for building the culture and capability necessary for the unit to deliver world-class exchange and financial services operational support.
This position is instrumental in Cboe's follow-the-sun support model for its US GTH markets, providing critical overnight and early-session coverage from Singapore that ensures continuous, high-availability operations across Cboe's real-time low-latency trading platforms. The Singapore-based Senior GTH Operations Manager oversees teams responsible for providing first-level support across customer and platform operations, system monitoring, and incident response — working closely with Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Network Engineering, and SRE teams across time zones to troubleshoot complex issues and coordinate platform configuration updates.
In addition to core Trade Desk and Data Vantage support responsibilities, this role will play a heavy leadership role in supporting Cboe’s Incident Management function for the APAC region — owning incident triage, escalation, communication, and post-incident review processes during the Singapore coverage window, and partnering with global Operations leadership to ensure consistent incident management practices across time zones.
The Senior Trade Desk Manager must be capable of operating with a high degree of independence and sound judgment, including making real-time operational decisions during periods of limited US leadership overlap. They will act as the primary point of escalation for customers and internal stakeholders during the GTH coverage window and will represent Cboe's operational interests in relevant industry and regulatory forums across the APAC region.
Based on follow-the-sun coverage needs, work schedules may need to adjust throughout the year during daylight savings time to provide for overlapping support schedules with other regions, and shift starting times may be as early as 5–6AM SGT.

Major Job Duties
New Unit Establishment & Operational Leadership: Lead the establishment of Cboe's Singapore operational support unit, including hiring and onboarding of Trade Desk staff, defining team structure and shift coverage, and creating the operational policies, procedures, and culture necessary to deliver sustained, high-quality exchange support from the APAC region. Develop and maintain strong partnerships with US and European operational counterparts to ensure seamless follow-the-sun handoffs and consistent operating standards.
Incident Management: Own the Incident Management function for the Singapore/APAC coverage window. Lead incident triage, root cause analysis, escalation, and stakeholder communication during production events affecting Cboe trading platforms during GTH market hours. Drive post-incident review processes and remediation tracking to improve long-term platform stability. Partner with global Operations leadership to develop and standardize incident management practices across regions.
Customer & Platform Support: Oversee the team responsible for first-level world-class support of one or more real-time low-latency Cboe trading platforms — including system monitoring, trade and order support, trade review rulings (clearly erroneous and obvious error), self-help declarations, clearing support, and system status communications. Act as a primary escalation point for customers during the GTH coverage window.
People Leadership & Development: Lead, mentor, and develop direct reports. Delegate assignments, actively connect team members across the organization, and support the training and development needs of new hires within the Singapore unit. Conduct performance reviews and provide ongoing coaching to build a high-performing, regionally capable team.
Platform & Compliance Expertise: Develop and maintain subject matter expertise across all platforms within the team's scope. Demonstrate knowledge of compliance obligations — including Reg SCI, Reg NMS, CAT, and applicable CFTC requirements — and work closely with Compliance staff to ensure incident triage, reporting, and remediation obligations are met.
Analytical & Technical Support: Perform analytical functions to troubleshoot and explain complex technical and trading issues, conduct root cause analysis and impact analysis, and resolve customer issues related to Cboe's APIs (market data, order entry, web services). Utilize SQL for data mining, UNIX shell for log file analysis, and Cboe proprietary tools to service incident management and customer reporting needs.
Project Management & Platform Change: Liaise with business, technology, and engineering stakeholders to define and design new platform features and functions. Provide project management support for platform updates within scope, organize testing of changes prior to deployment, and work with engineering teams to resolve systemic issues.
Procedures & Documentation: Establish and maintain operational objectives, policies, and procedures for the Singapore team. Update internal technical and operational documentation within Confluence and SharePoint as platforms evolve. Draft technical notices and updates to technical specifications as required.
On-Call & Weekend Testing: Lead and participate in weekend testing activities (e.g., capacity testing, failover, BCP/DR tests) and provide follow-the-sun on-call operational leadership as part of Cboe's global Operations team.
