Job description

An expanding quant/systematic prop-trading firm are looking to make a newly created hire for its New York HQ office.

The hire will join a new ‘investment pod’, working with a high calibre investment team, as an operations analyst with ownership for a specific group of tasks focused on this particular investment strategy. The hire will also own specific projects for the desk – they are typically focused on process automation / improvements for the line tasks that you run. Those projects, alongside BAU work having a core focus on analysing large volumes of complex data, allows the hire to learn SQL, Python and VBA to a strong standard in this role.

The hire can progress into either a supervisory/managerial role or a trading assistant position most likely, however moves into risk or trading operations engineer (quant) roles are possible, as are transfers to one of the firm’s emerging / expanding offices overseas.

The firm have rock bottom attrition since they formed – employees work in a fantastic office environment / culture, they receive fully subsidised breakfast / lunch / snacks daily, receive a fantastic benefit package + the firm have flexibility around an employee’s preference to work from home (albeit ideally the hire will work from the office at least 3 days per week).

Candidates should have 1-3yrs relevant operations/middle office/trade support experience, a relevant degree with high GPA / generally very strong academics + some form of advanced tech skills.

The role pays a base salary towards the top end of the market for a role at this experience level + a bonus potential that will allow a strong performer to earn a $175k+ year one TC (the variable either side of this pending performance of both the investment pod and the individual).
