Job description

I have partnered with a founder-led, London-based equity long/short fund specialising in energy transition, utilities, infrastructure, and industrial sectors.

We are seeking an Execution Trader to take ownership of trade execution across equities and derivatives. This is a hands-on role where you will manage portfolio overlays, contribute to portfolio construction, and collaborate closely with the portfolio lead on high-conviction trades.

What we’re looking for:

• Mid-to-senior buy-side trading experience, ideally in equities or derivatives.
• Strong understanding of portfolio construction, risk management, and trading overlays.
• Prior experience in industrials, metals, utilities, or infrastructure is a plus, but a bright, open-minded approach is most important.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating in a free-spirited, contrarian team.
• Familiarity with Enfusion OMS/EMS or similar platforms.

This is an opportunity to shape and execute trades in a dynamic, founder-led, idea-driven environment.
