What You’ll Do
As a Trade Management Analyst, you’ll:
- Design and execute efficient trading plans that manage risk, control costs, and maintain market exposure.
- Gain exposure to multiple asset classes, from equities and fixed income to private markets.
- Consider broader factors like currency hedging and the use of transition managers.
- Think on your feet to solve problems and adapt to changing priorities.
- Work both independently and alongside consultants, depending on project size and complexity.

- Organized with excellent time management skills.
- Able to work independently and as part of a team.
- Ideally IMC qualified (or willing to work toward it with our support).
