# Operations Lead ( Transfer Agency)

**Vinyl Equity, Inc.** · Mangaluru Office

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/vinylequity/47b4e2e8-8932-4794-89f1-6253dce754b2

## About the role

#### About the Role

You'll build and lead our India Operations team from zero — defining roles, hiring, and designing coverage across Indian and U.S. hours. This is a player-coach role: hands-on execution early, scaling through hiring and delegation as the team grows. You'll own the day-to-day running of a U.S. stock transfer agency and act as the first line of defense on a live share register.

#### Key Responsibilities

- Recruit, train, and manage the India Operations team; define roles, onboarding, and coverage across IST/U.S. Eastern hours

- Own service quality end-to-end: SLAs, maker-checker controls, error tracking, escalation

- Own the SOP library; close documentation gaps and drive automation with U.S. operations, compliance, and engineering

- Run daily DTC operations: pending-transfer reviews, DWAC/DRS processing, FAST/SCL balancing

- Process issuances and treasury orders under maker-checker controls

- Review and process transfers — routine, estate, broker, certificate-to-DRS — with document and medallion verification

- Own KYC/KYB review and OFAC/adverse-media screening; escalate matches immediately

- Handle shareholder and issuer support: account inquiries, lost-holder cases, certificate replacements

- Own recurring SEC compliance reporting (Rules 17Ad-2/17Ad-6/17Ad-17, DTCC CBRS, escheatment)

- Lead proxy season, paying agency, and corporate actions execution

- Own new-issuer onboarding: appointment packages, DTC agent-change notices, legacy record ingestion

- Write and maintain SOPs; drive process improvement and automation with engineering

#### Role Requirements

- 10+ years in securities or transfer agency operations (global transfer agent, Indian RTA, asset manager, or bank securities-services center)

- Proven experience building and leading operations teams from scratch

- Deep respect for written procedure; judgment to escalate when a case doesn't fit it

- Bachelor's degree in commerce, finance, accounting, or a related field

- Strong data skills: Excel/Sheets, unfamiliar file formats; basic scripting a plus

- Expert user of Claude or an equivalent AI assistant

- Meticulous attention to detail and clear written English

- Reliability against hard cutoffs; this role operates on U.S. Eastern Time (ET) hours

- High integrity and discretion handling PII and material non-public information

#### Nice to Haves

- Exposure to DTC/DTCC systems (FAST, DWAC, DRS Profile, Cede & Co., CBRS, omnibus proxies) and SEC 17Ad-series rules

- Experience with record conversions/deconversions or legacy data migration

- Familiarity with Rule 144, medallion guarantees, escheatment, KYC/KYB, AML, or proxy/annual-meeting logistics

- Experience running U.S. or cross-border operations from India against U.S.-hours SLAs

#### Benefits

- Competitive compensation commensurate with experience

- Equity participation

- Comprehensive health insurance, paid leave, and wellness benefits

- Fully remote (India)

- A true zero-to-one leadership mandate, backed by the U.S. leadership team

- Modern operations environment with purpose-built tooling and AI assistanceTo apply: send your résumé and a short note on a team or operation you've built (what you inherited, what you changed, and how you measured it) to **careers@vinylequity.com**.
