Assist with pricing, execution, recaps/reporting, and post‑trade issue resolution
Contribute to automation and process‑improvement projects
Operate effectively on the trading floor and stay composed during time‑sensitive situations

What we’re looking for

We are looking for someone who is technically strong, curious, and thrives in a fast‑paced trading environment.

You will bring:

Strong technical skills – proficiency in Excel; experience with Python or SQL is a strong plus
Interest in automation and improving front‑office processes through technology
Knowledge of equities and equity derivatives, or proven solid foundation with ability to learn quickly
Previous financial services experience and completion of finance or investment‑related coursework (preferred)
Clear, concise written and verbal communication skills
High attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑moving environment
A self‑starter mindset – quick learner, resourceful, proactive

Ability to move around the trading floor and work calmly under pressure
A humble approach—comfortable asking questions and seeking clarity
