Description

In this challenging position you manage and optimize our daily position (pricing and trading) in a wide range of financial products, including equities, bonds, derivatives and complex structured products. You formulate innovative trading strategies and, in close collaboration with our software engineers, develop trading models and tools that allow us to capitalize on opportunities swiftly and adequately.

Because of the specific nature of the work-environment, we do not expect you to plunge headfirst into your new job. Instead, you will start by following a three months intensive in-house training program that covers all the intricate details of the trading processes. As a member of an informal team, you will then gradually take on more responsibilities, start monitoring markets and only then start making split-second portfolio adjustments that are at the heart of our success.

From trading to devising tactics, and from contributing to new tools to implementing actual programs: you help shape our trading strategy.

Requirements

  • You have a relevant university degree, preferably in finance, econometrics, mathematics or economics;
  • Demonstrable interest in global financial markets;
  • Knowledge of Excel and a keen interest in IT systems in general;
  • Innovative & creative high potential with excellent mathematical and analytical skills;
  • Competitive, outgoing, communicative, creative and able to deliver under pressure;
  • A distinct ability to spot arising opportunities and the assertiveness to seize them;
  • A fast-paced work environment that offers great challenges and ditto rewards immediately appeals to you;
  • Absolutely fluent in English.

We value talent over experience.
