• Manage risk in real time, including sizing, hedging and adjusting exposure through changing conditions
• Develop and scale your own strategies without a fixed house model

Requirements

• 4+ years of profitable P&L in dollars
• Experience running your own risk rather than executing for others
• Depth in one or more of: equity options and volatility, capital structure arbitrage, listed derivatives, ETFs and index arbitrage, FX, macro or EM FX. Other products considered where the track record is strong
• Comfort with data and execution tooling
• Track record of performing in a high pressure, results driven environment
