My client, a leading, global, multi-strategy hedge fund, is actively hiring for an experienced equities trader (stat arb, high frequency, algo trading) to join a global team, responsible for the management and enhancement of the firms automated execution trading process, covering equities, futures, options, FX, IR, bonds, commodities etc.
The team's primary role is to establish and deliver 'best execution' practices (e.g minimize trading costs and market impact) and aggressively source external liquidity. As such, the role requires a proactive, analytical individual capable of identifying innovative opportunities for performance improvement.
It is a market-facing role, demanding excellent knowledge of microstructures and the ability to manage both internal (quant/systematic and fundamental/discretionary portfolio managers) and external (brokers, counterparties etc) relationships .
The successful candidate is likely to have a minimum of two years' experience manging substantial order flows and a track record of maximizing execution performance.
