This is a senior dealing role at a global asset manager based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The position carries shift leadership responsibility across three daily dealing sessions covering Saudi and global markets, with particular emphasis on U.S. market activity.

The Role

The Senior Dealer leads an assigned dealing shift and acts as the first escalation point for complex trades, portfolio-risk events and client trading issues. The role combines hands-on execution with direct supervision of shift dealers, staffing coordination and operational control. The Senior Dealer reports into and works closely with the Head of Dealing.

Shift Leadership and Staffing

• Own readiness, staffing, service standards and operational execution for the assigned shift.
• Confirm attendance, desk allocation and staff availability at shift start and throughout.
• Arrange break cover and respond to late arrivals, unplanned absences or unexpected workload spikes; reallocate work or step in personally to fill gaps.
• Ensure no dealing desk or assigned shift is left unattended during required market coverage hours.
• Flag forecast staffing shortfalls early and request backup support from the Head of Dealing.
• Lead structured shift handovers covering open orders, margin actions, live risk exposures, client escalations, market events and unresolved technology incidents.
• Check operational readiness for Saudi and U.S. sessions, including trading calendars, exchange holidays and U.S. daylight-saving changes.

Trade Supervision and Escalation

• Supervise dealers' live order monitoring and execution quality across Saudi and international products, with particular focus on U.S. equities, ETFs and listed options.
• Handle escalated trade exceptions, complex order issues, sensitive client inquiries and broker or execution problems; execute trades directly when required.
• Oversee application of buying-power, margin, concentration and trading-limit controls; prioritise material accounts and coordinate with Risk and Compliance.
• Manage significant market-volatility events, options exercise and assignment concerns, and urgent margin cases within approved escalation frameworks.
• Coordinate immediate incident response for execution errors or platform disruption; preserve records and escalate 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.
• 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.
