Jobbeschreibung

Equity & Derivatives Trader (Short-Term / Family Office Mandate)

We are establishing a high-conviction, short-term trading desk within a privately held family office, managing proprietary capital. The role is suited for an experienced, hands‑on trader with a proven track record in short‑term equity and derivatives trading, capable of delivering consistent, risk‑adjusted returns in a lean, entrepreneurial environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently manage a trading portfolio focused on U.S. and European equities, index futures, and listed derivatives.
• Identify, execute, and manage short‑term swing trades (typical holding period: days to weeks, max ~1 month).
• Apply leverage and hedging strategies effectively through derivatives (options, futures, Turbos, structured products).
• Maintain and analyse positions using Bloomberg Professional, ensuring disciplined risk control and timely execution.
• Develop and refine proprietary trading strategies, incorporating both technical and quantitative signals.
• Report portfolio performance, exposure, and P&L metrics directly to the principal.
• Collaborate with the execution desk and external brokers (Swiss private bank infrastructure).

Requirements

• 8+ years’ experience trading equities and derivatives with a proven P&L track record.
• Deep understanding of market dynamics, leverage, and risk management.
• Demonstrable experience using Bloomberg Professional (Terminal) for trading and analytics (mandatory).
• Solid knowledge of equity options, index futures, and structured products.
• Familiarity with short-term and swing trading (not long‑only or benchmark‑driven).
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate independently and manage capital responsibly.
• Proficiency in English (German is a plus).

Compensation

Performance‑driven structure with a competitive base retainer and profit participation.

Location

• Initial onboarding in Fürth (Germany) for the first months, with hybrid or remote setup thereafter.
• Collaboration with a Swiss‑based execution desk (private bank).

Why Join

• Trade meaningful proprietary capital with full autonomy.
• No corporate layers – direct reporting to the principal.
• Opportunity to shape a new trading platform within a professional, performance‑oriented family office environment.
