Jobbeschreibung

We are partnering with a high-performing, growth-stage Equity Long/Short hedge fund based in Hong Kong managing approximately $700M USD across global markets.

Due to expanding global coverage (APAC, US, and EMEA) and a lean, high-caliber trading desk, they are seeking an additional Execution Trader to join the team. This is not a back-office or pure execution role; they are looking for an ambitious self-starter who wants to contribute ideas, understand market volatility deeply, and work closely with senior traders.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute and monitor cash equities and multi-region derivatives flow (futures, single-stock/index options, basket options, and FX hedging).
• Manage cross-border trading sessions, including participating in a structured night shift rotation to cover US and EMEA markets from the Hong Kong office.
• Monitor options data, volatility metrics, delta/gamma exposure, and short data to support portfolio risk management.
• Collaborate closely with the trading desk and research analysts to discuss market trends, risk positioning, and hedging strategies.
• Maintain relationships with key broker networks and leverage modern data/analytical tools to streamline trading operations.

Requirements

• Experience: 2 to 5 years of relevant experience, ideally from a sell-side equity derivatives desk or a buy-side trading/execution environment.
• Technical Foundation: Solid grasp of options pricing concepts, volatility (Vega, Delta, Gamma), and derivatives structures.
• Global Market Awareness: Familiarity with APAC and US market mechanics.
• Fine with night shift rotations (till 4-5am) to cover global hours.
• Mindset: A curious, proactive self-learner who goes beyond mechanical execution - someone eager to share ideas, think critically, and grow within a fast-paced environment.
• Languages: Professional proficiency in English and Cantonese/Mandarin.

What’s on Offer

• Direct Exposure: Work hand-in-hand with experienced traders and leadership with direct visibility into global portfolio management.
• Flat & Collaborative Culture: An open-minded, meritocratic environment where junior team members are encouraged to contribute trade and hedging ideas.
• Growth Path: A rare opportunity to scale alongside a rapidly growing fund with robust resources and tools.
