An expanding quant/systematic prop-trading firm are looking to make a newly created hire for its London 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 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 + there is some flexibility to work from home when necessary.
Candidates should have 1-5yrs operations/middle office/trade support experience, a 2:1/first class degree from a top-ranking university and some form of advanced tech skills.
The firm are paying non-investment staff base salaries that are arguably market leading in this space, meaning that the successful hire can expect a substantial step up on his/her current base salary. High performers will also be rewarded with large EOY bonuses.
