SIFMA is a 1912-founded trade association representing broker-dealers, investment banks, and asset managers whose combined businesses account for 75% of U.S. broker-dealer revenue and 50% of asset management AUM. The organization operates a lean, mission-driven structure (51–200 employees) focused on legislative advocacy, regulatory compliance, and member coordination across capital markets. Active projects center on government affairs, policy engagement, and member education—supported by standard enterprise stack (Microsoft 365, Okta, Cvent) and near-term hiring acceleration in support and events roles, suggesting operational scaling around member-facing programming.
SIFMA serves as the primary trade association and coordinating body for the U.S. securities industry, representing the shared interests of hundreds of member firms operating in equity and fixed income markets. The organization's core mandate spans legislative and regulatory advocacy on behalf of the industry's approximately 1 million employees, coupled with policy research, member education, and industry forums. SIFMA maintains dual offices in New York and Washington, D.C., and holds membership in the Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA) as the U.S. regional representative. Current operational challenges center on improving advocacy program effectiveness and deepening member engagement and issue resolution.
