  • Contribute to the expansion into new products and markets;
  • Negotiate trade terms and pricing in fast-moving environments;
  • Support improvements in execution processes, tools, and data usage;
  • Develop a strong understanding of market structure, products, and regulatory frameworks;
  • Translate market insights into actionable input for trading decisions.

 

Key Requirements:

  • 2–5 years of professional experience in trading or capital markets;
  • Strong knowledge of options and derivatives markets;
  • Hands-on experience interacting with brokers and counterparties;
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; English fluency is a requirement;
  • High EQ and strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to positively influence outcomes;
  • Ability to work well under pressure, thriving when making fast decisions and handling a high volume of trades, often simultaneously;
  • Entrepreneurial mindset;
  • Detail oriented;
  • Competitive by nature.
