Quant Capital is hiring on behalf of a leading global trading firm looking for an Operations Analyst to join its London team. This is a high-exposure role within a small, technically capable operations group supporting a multi-asset, multi-venue trading environment.

You’ll work across reconciliations, trade support, cash and collateral management, and process automation—helping ensure the firm’s global trading infrastructure runs smoothly and scales efficiently. Ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, engineering-first environment and wants their work to directly impact performance.

Role Overview

This role provides hands-on exposure to trading systems, operational processes, and financial products across the full trade lifecycle. You’ll be building and automating workflows, monitoring risk, liaising with brokers and exchanges, and working with engineers to develop new tooling and reporting infrastructure.

This isn’t back-office ops—it’s embedded, high-leverage work in a deeply technical, high-trust environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide front-office support for the firm’s direct trading business
• Work closely with the trading desk
• Provide assistance in trade capture
• Field reconciliation-related inquiries
• Daily P&L calculation and substantiation
• Support trade management activities, such as processing exercises and assignments, corporate actions, box transfers, currency conversions, etc.
• Research and design analytical tools to be integrated into daily procedures
• Adopt, integrate, and promote new technology as it becomes available
• Provide experienced direction and assistance to teammates across all product classes

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Maths, Engineering, or Computer Science (min 2:1)
• 2–3 years experience in trading operations or a similar environment
• Experience with futures, futures options, and/or OTC products preferred
• Previous experience supporting fixed income, currencies, crypto assets, or commodities products
• Strong Python
• Clear communicator with experience working across teams
• A self-starter who takes ownership of problems and builds scalable solutions
• Familiarity with at least one asset class from an ops or support perspective

Why Apply?

• High-impact role in a fast-paced trading environment
• Exposure across asset classes, products, and trade lifecycle
• Autonomy to design and automate operational processes
• Embedded within a tech-driven team where ideas are implemented quickly
• Real opportunity to shape systems, not just follow workflows
