Job description

Job Description

A globally leading proprietary trading firm is looking to make a high-impact hire within its expanding London office, joining a fast-paced and technically innovative Trade Support function.

The role sits within a flat, collaborative team structure, offering broad exposure across the trade lifecycle. While BAU trade support remains a core component, this hire will play a pivotal role in high-value-add project work from day one. This includes automation initiatives, process optimisation, and system migrations/implementations. The team is empowered to drive efficiency through technology, with direct input into tooling and workflow design.

The firm is specifically targeting candidates with 1–10 years of relevant experience in buy-side operations, middle office, or trade support, available on a 0-4 week notice period. A strong track record of process improvement and project delivery is essential. Technical proficiency in VBA, SQL, or Python is highly advantageous.

This opportunity offers an exceptional compensation package, with year one total compensation of £125-150k and substantial growth expected in years2+. This is a permanent position, however it could be possible to hire a fixed term contractor such is the pressing need.
