About the Role

Futu Holdings is seeking a Senior Dealer to join their team in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This full-time position involves leading an assigned dealing shift, serving as the primary escalation point for complex trades, portfolio-risk events, and client trading issues.

This includes confirming attendance, desk allocation, and staff availability, as well as managing coverage for breaks, late arrivals, unplanned absences, or unexpected workloads. The role ensures that no dealing desk or assigned shift is left unattended during required market coverage and involves leading structured shift handovers covering open orders, margin actions, live risk exposures, client escalations, market events, and unresolved technology incidents. Operational readiness for Saudi and * sessions, including trading calendars, exchange holidays, and * daylight-saving changes, is also a key responsibility.

• Oversee the application of buying-power, margin, concentration, and trading-limit controls; prioritize material accounts and coordinate actions with Risk and Compliance.
• Manage significant market-volatility events, options exercise/assignment concerns, and urgent margin cases under approved escalation and approval frameworks.
• Coordinate immediate incident response for execution errors or platform disruption, preserving records and escalating critical issues to the Head of Dealing.

Team Performance and Operational Improvement

• Monitor shift performance, case queues, response times, control adherence, and dealer productivity; provide real-time coaching and quality feedback.
• Support onboarding, cross-training, procedure refreshers, and daily briefings to ensure dealers are prepared for product and market-session requirements.
• Produce concise shift reports covering staffing, incidents, outstanding exceptions, material risks, and follow-up owners.
• Partner with Product, Technology, Operations, and Client Services to reduce recurring trade-support issues and strengthen shift playbooks.
