Job description

A leading bank in the UAE is seeking a technically strong, commercially aware AVP-level Derivatives Trader to support the build-out of its structured trading desk. This is a high-impact role focused on developing and executing derivatives strategies across Rates and Commodities with a clear mandate to enhance the trading and structuring capability of the desk.

Key Responsibilities:

• Trading and pricing of derivatives, particularly Swaps and structured products.
• Taking full ownership of P&L: pricing risk, expressing market views, and managing positions.
• Supporting product structuring, modelling, and delivery of bespoke hedging solutions.
• Collaborating with internal risk, legal, and treasury stakeholders to ensure efficient and compliant execution.
• Working with commodity-linked instruments (especially oil and precious metals).

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Currently trading derivatives - pricing and execution experience is essential.
• Must have hands-on Swaps trading experience; Rates-only profiles may be considered if technically strong.
• Solid academic foundation in quantitative disciplines (mathematics, engineering, physics, finance) - CFA, or similar qualifications are highly valued.
• Proficiency in risk modelling and pricing tools such as Murex, Calypso, Python, or VBA.
• Shariah-compliant or Islamic structured product experience is beneficial, but not essential.
• Candidates should operate at AVP or early VP level - this role will not suit ex-MDs or desk heads unless they are specifically looking for a step-down or more hands-on technical mandate.
• Candidates must be able to join within 1-2 months.
• Preference for those already based in the UAE or wider GCC, though strong external profiles (Malaysia, UK, Europe) may be considered if relocation is viable within timeframes above.
• The desk operates lean and fast - this is a plug-and-play role for someone who enjoys technical ownership and strategic influence.

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing desk in a strategic, high-visibility role where you'll shape real trading outcomes. Ideal for someone who thrives on autonomy, technical complexity, and multi-asset exposure in a forward-leaning environment.

Butler Rose is committed to equality in the workplace and is an equal opportunity employer.
