My client, a market leading global hedge fund, are looking to hire a trader assistant, as trading volumes are increasing for their London based investment desk.
The firm, headquartered overseas but with a rapidly expanding presence in London, are looking for the hire to be predominantly focused on the fixed income book, working with highly-regarded PMs and Traders fully supporting the trade execution process in this space.
In addition to daily blotter management, trade booking, monitoring expiries/fixings/futures rolls, position and PnL reports, a considerable portion of the role is value add work, dealing with various requests from the front office during the day. Separately, the hire will develop strong SQL and Python skills in this role.
From this position, progression opportunities are broad, but they can include moves into trading or risk, in addition to international moves.
The role will offer a year one comp range of £125-175k, with substantial year-on-year growth (a more established TA in the team should expect to earn a £200k+ TC package).
