Concierge Agent, 24/7 Coverage

Company: tastytrade
Role: Concierge Agent 24/7 Coverage
Location: Chicago, IL – Initially on-site; hybrid/remote based on performance and experience
Reports to: Trade Desk Team Manager
Licensure Required: None required to apply, but a huge plus — FINRA SIE, Series 7, 63, and 3 sponsorship provided for qualified candidates

Markets don't sleep, and neither does great service. As our Concierge Agent for weekend and overnight coverage, you'll be the friendly, steady presence our customers count on when they need us most — nights, weekends, and everything in between. This role brings together the warmth of our Concierge team and the market savvy of our Trade Desk, making it a genuine launchpad into a licensed trading career.

No license needed to get started — we'll sponsor your FINRA SIE, Series 7, 63, and 3 as part of your onboarding. While you work toward those credentials, you'll focus on delivering outstanding customer support, leaning on our on-call senior staff for anything that requires a license.

• Once licensed: independently resolve trade disputes and advise on risk exposure, margin, and position adjustments
