- Assess and sign off on new trading strategies and algorithms
- Further develop the risk-control framework, including policies, with a strong focus on trading and technology
- Provide input to optimize capital and liquidity allocation and usage of trading strategies
Key Requirements:
- 3-5 years of professional experience in an equity derivatives trading firm
- Master’s degree in a quantitative field such as STEM, Statistics, Economics, or Finance
- Hands-on understanding of equity and derivatives trading
- Clear understanding of risk factors that affect a market maker company trading a large equity derivatives portfolio
