Job description

Undertake investment and trading of FX spot, forwards, swaps, options, NDF and other derivatives, with primary coverage of USD and major currency markets. Independently develop trading strategies, execute transactions and conduct risk management.

Continuously monitor FX market pricing, forward curves, swap points, volatility surfaces, interest-rate spreads, supply-demand dynamics, market positioning and capital-flow movements. Identify mispricing, expectation divergences and structural trading opportunities; prepare trading reports, conduct post-trade reviews and position-holding analysis.

Collaborate with compliance, risk control, finance, operations and back-office teams to ensure smooth end-to-end trading workflows.

Assist in refining the FX investment strategy framework, trading tools and relevant business procedures.

Perform other duties related to investment trading and business development as required by team priorities.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or above, preferably in Economics, Finance, Mathematics, Computer Science or related disciplines.

Minimum 3-year hands-on investment-trading experience in foreign exchange and derivative markets, capable of delivering full-cycle investment workflows independently. Verifiable historical investment track record is preferred.

High sensitivity to market price movements and shifting market expectations. Maintain sound relationships with key counterparties and market participants in FX and derivative markets, with strong capabilities in market intelligence gathering and stakeholder communication.

Adapt to the trading characteristics of offshore foreign-exchange markets. Be flexible to arrange trading and risk-management schedules for portfolio-management purposes amid key economic data releases, central-bank policy announcements, geopolitical events and periods of elevated market volatility.

Strong risk awareness and trading discipline. Able to clearly identify core return drivers and risk exposures of trades, and allocate positions and risk budgets prudently based on risk-reward profiles.
