Job Description:

A leading, global market making firm is looking to make a key hire into a newly created London-based trading desk support role, tied to the buildout of its European digital assets business.

This is a high-impact position that combines day-to-day trade support responsibilities with end-to-end ownership of process automation and tooling initiatives. The hire will act as the central operations contact for a London-based trading team and will be embedded closely with the tech/engineering teams on process optimisation and data-focused projects. The London hire will also play a pivotal role in scaling operational infrastructure as the business expands.

Ideal candidates are experienced trade support or middle office analysts (roughly 3–8 years' experience) from hedge funds or proprietary trading firms. Candidates should have a strong academic background (STEM preferred), experience with SQL and Python, and exposure to automation, tooling, or process improvement work. Familiarity with digital assets/blockchain infrastructure is beneficial but not essential.

This is a critical hire with a first-year total compensation package of up to £200k for the right candidate.
