What We Value
  • 4+ years of experience in equities trading, either on the buy-side or sell-side, with strong knowledge of U.S. equity markets and market structure.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain relationships with brokers and counterparties; existing network is a plus.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced trading environment, supporting multiple Portfolio Managers with a high degree of accuracy and responsiveness.
  • Strong understanding of trade execution, liquidity dynamics, and best execution practices.
  • Highly detail-oriented with strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset, with the ability to work effectively across teams including Risk, Operations, Compliance, and Technology.

We anticipate the base salary of this role to be between $125,000-$140,000. In addition to a base salary, the successful candidate will also be eligible to receive a discretionary year-end bonus.
