About this role

▸about Jump Trading — company background

Jump Trading Group is committed to world class research. We empower exceptional talents in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science to seek scientific boundaries, push through them, and apply cutting edge research to global financial markets. Our culture is unique. Constant innovation requires fearlessness, creativity, intellectual honesty, and a relentless competitive streak. We believe in winning together and unlocking unique individual talent by incenting collaboration and mutual respect. At Jump, research outcomes drive more than superior risk adjusted returns. We design, develop, and deploy technologies that change our world, fund start-ups across industries, and partner with leading global research organizations and universities to solve problems.

Jump Trading is seeking a detail-oriented, proactive, and people-focused Facilities Manager to own the maintenance, operations, and overall performance of our current and future offices in New York City. You will ensure the reliability of essential infrastructure, the day-to-day functionality of the office, and the well-being of our employees as it relates to their workplace experience.

This is a role built on ownership and leadership. You will drive facilities strategy across all locations, lead a team of internal and external professionals, and manage the vendors, contractors, and building staff who keep our offices running seamlessly. You will also play an active part in the design and eventual operation of a new 100,000 sq ft office in a tier one NYC building. We operate our offices for our own people—no clients, no shareholders—simply to make the best possible workday for our fellow coworkers.

What You’ll Do

Own the daily performance, availability, and reliability of all office and critical facility systems—including UPS, BMS/EPMS, backup generators, transfer switches (ATS/STS), and HVAC/cooling equipment (CRAC/CRAH, chillers).

Run preventative and corrective maintenance programs—daily walkthroughs, load tests, inspections, and emergency drills such as generator testing and UPS failover—to prevent downtime and extend asset life.

Act as the primary escalation point for critical events, driving rapid incident response and using maintenance data and system-health trends to continuously improve reliability.

Build, lead, and develop a team of internal and external supervisors, engineers, and technicians—setting goals, coaching for growth, and driving a culture of safety and accountability.

Oversee hiring, onboarding, performance management, and succession planning to build bench strength.

Own relationships with building management and vendors—running RFPs, consolidations, and contract negotiations, and holding partners accountable to measurable performance.
