Job description

I'm currently working with an exciting hedge fund looking to expand their front office team in London.

• Coverage of early and late shifts to ensure staffing around European Open & US close.
• Interfacing with the Investment team to receive orders and execute inline with MiFID Best Execution Policy.
• Monitoring PnL, price action and broader market moves, distilling information and disseminating meaningful news and flow to the Investment and Trading teams.
• Monitoring FX exposure, trading spot/forward FX as appropriate to ensure book is hedged.

Requirements
• At least 2 years' professional experience in a trading environment; knowledge of US & European equity markets and liquidity landscape is essential
• Ability to work early and late shifts to cover the trading desk through European open or US close.
• Demonstrable understanding of general market protocol and etiquette, equity pricing and positioning.
• Knowledge around broker-sponsored algorithms, broker cash desks, dark pools and DMA facilities.
• Proficiency using Excel; building reports and monitors on the fly. VBA experience will be a positive.
• Fluency with trading technology, execution management systems and order management systems.
• Deep curiosity and strong analytical skills.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an exciting growing hedge fund, where you'll be working within a well-seasoned team. You will gain exposure to both European and US Markets, as well as learning multiple different asset classes.
