One of the liveliest and most entertaining trading floors in Europe is ours. You will use internal and external data as a quantitative trader to build and implement strategies while controlling the risk associated with the complex portfolio of financial products you trade. Traders that take the initiative to collaborate closely with the technology and research units to enhance all we do are valued by us. Due to our extensive international experience, we are skilled at assisting expats with their migration, providing affordable relocation packages, and, where needed, sponsoring their visas.
In summary, as a Quantitative Trader you will:
Entrepreneurially manage your own trading book
Develop and execute data-driven strategies in financial markets
Manage the risks of a complex portfolio of financial instruments
Seek improvement in everything you do
Work closely with colleagues across multiple departments
Upon starting as a Quantitative Trader you will be immersed in an intensive two-month training program alongside other new recruits and employees from other departments within the organisation. The first month will be classroom based, bringing you up to speed with the theoretical basics of pricing and the workings of the wider organisation.
