About the role
<div class="content-intro"><div>
<div><strong>It's time to transform markets</strong></div>
<div>Existing workflows within syndicated loan and CLO markets are painful for clients: they are outdated, overcomplicated, and time-consuming. It’s time for a change. </div>
</div>
<div>
<p>Octaura is reimagining the way these markets trade, with efficiency, transparency and simplicity at the heart of what we do. We bring trading capabilities, data and analytics together for the first time on a digitized platform–fundamentally transforming the markets and streamlining workflows like never before. </p>
</div>
<div>
<div><strong>At Octaura, everyone belongs</strong></div>
<div>It’s essential that Octaurians are confident in knowing they have the space to use their voice and talents. The world is diverse and we actively want our team to reflect this. We’re a values-driven company and by engaging, solving and evolving together, we create a culture that is collaborative, transparent, impactful and innovative. And fun! </div>
