Associate (Brokers & New Markets)
Nine Mile
Sydney CBD, Australia (Office-based)
Nine Mile is an electronic principal trading firm focused on market-making and arbitrage opportunities globally. Technology is at the forefront of our business, powering Nine Mile's unified global trading platform and the micro-decisions required for successful trading.
Nine Mile's scale and efficiency allow us to be nimble, responding quickly to market opportunities and regulatory changes, whilst operating within a robust operational risk management framework.
At our heart, it's our people that power Nine Mile - our strategy, technology, and relationships. We are proud to have a team of highly motivated, intelligent individuals who strive to solve complex problems through creative, sophisticated technology in an open, meritocratic environment.
Role Overview
This is a newly created, high-visibility role established to support the company's expansion and represents a genuine chance to build and shape the function from the ground up.
The successful candidate will be structured, accountable, and bring momentum to an area that will grow into a larger team as the business scales. This is an office-based role, working from our Sydney CBD office. This role is ideal for a highly organised, diligent self-starter who is comfortable taking ownership of a process, identifying gaps, and implementing improvements without waiting to be told what to do.
Key responsibilities include:
Own and maintain visibility over the status of all brokers onboarding applications from initiation through to completion, using explicit tracking systems and reporting.
Manage the full pipeline of onboarding applications, ensuring all required documentation, approvals, and steps are progressed accurately and efficiently.
Proactively chase outstanding items, follow up with all relevant parties, and ensure no application stalls or falls through the cracks.




Act as the primary point of contact between Nine Mile traders and external broker firms, ensuring clear, timely, and professional communication in both directions.
Assess and prioritise onboarding activity according to evolving business and trading requirements, balancing competing demands to protect critical timelines.
Identify potential bottlenecks or risks to onboarding timelines early and take proactive action to resolve them before they impact the business.
Assist with Issuer listings on the ASX and Cboe, supporting the coordination and progression of listing-related requirements.
Driving key strategic initiatives across the business.
Shape and define the onboarding function as the company grows, laying the groundwork for what is expected to become a team function, including future process documentation and handover materials.
What You Will Bring
Prior experience in broker onboarding, client onboarding, KYC/AML processes, or a related operations/compliance function.
Experience working within financial services, trading, or brokerage environments.
Familiarity with onboarding or workflow tracking systems (e.g. CRM, ticketing, or project management tools).
Highly diligent, detail-oriented, and organised, with a strong ability to manage multiple applications and priorities simultaneously.
Excellent project management skills, with a track record of tracking complex, multi-step processes to completion.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to liaise professionally with both internal traders and external broker firms.
Ability to prioritise effectively based on shifting business needs.
Our Culture
At Nine Mile, we operate in a highly competitive and dynamic environment. Our success depends not only on our vision, technology, and strategies, but on the people who bring them to life every day.
We foster a culture that rewards open interaction, rigorous problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork. We believe helping others succeed is as important as individual achievement.
Challenge your ideas. Work with us.
