Large-Cap Options Trader (Remote, Funded) - Minneapolis, MN

A large-cap options trader at Maverick focuses on the most liquid US-listed names — the S&P 100 universe and a handful of additional names with comparable option volume. The role rewards traders who want clean execution, scalable size, and the operational benefits that come with deep option markets (penny-wide spreads, weekly expirations, full strike grids).Minneapolis, MN:Minneapolis hosts the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, U.S. Bancorp, Ameriprise Financial, and Thrivent Financial. The financial-services labor market is among the deepest in the Midwest, and Central Time alignment with US markets is clean.What you'll trade:Single-name large-cap options across directional, defined-risk neutral, and event-driven strategies. The universe is intentionally narrow — typically 30–60 names a trader covers actively — but the depth of each market lets traders run larger positions than would be feasible in mid-caps.Risk framework:Large-cap options markets are deep but not bulletproof — earnings, macro shocks, and single-name news can still produce 5%+ overnight moves. Maverick caps per-name notional, per-name vega, and portfolio-level Greeks exposure.Why Maverick funds this role:Large-cap options are the most institutional segment of US options markets. Maverick funds traders here because the strategies scale — what works in one name can be sized up across the entire watchlist — and the operational quality of the markets supports professional execution.Traders who prefer depth of expertise over breadth — knowing 40 names well, not 400 superficiallyPeople who think in Greeks first, price secondCandidates who have already run an options book and understand portfolio-level riskTraders who appreciate clean execution and tight spreadsJ-18808-Ljbffr
