Exchange Traded Derivatives (Futures and Options) Operations – Prestigious Hedge Fund | London,[...]

CassonX are absolutely thrilled to be recruiting for this powerhouse in the hedge fund world. Whilst specialising in fixed-income arbitrage and global macro strategies, they also have a keen eye for technology and algorithmic investment strategies to ensure world-class returns for their investors. With very large AUM, and a reputation for only hiring the best in the market, this is a company that would complement anyone’s CV.

To be considered for this opportunity, CassonX is looking to identify someone who is degree educated and knowledgeable in Exchange Traded Derivatives (Futures and Options) Operations, with a background covering trade lifecycles, query management, and reconciliations. You will have knowledge of how all the Clearing cycles work, exposure to a variety of different exchanges, and understanding of T0 and T+1 processes.

They prefer to hire someone currently working in a Hedge Fund or Asset Management firm but are willing to consider candidates from a sell-side Prime Broker team as well. The position is best suited to someone on the upward trajectory of their career (2-6 years of experience) and ideally offers Python, SQL, or VBA technical skills and can showcase experience of using these coding languages in the workplace to automate or improve efficiencies and processes.

This broad role is crucial for the company, covering all elements of the trade lifecycles for all asset classes they trade. However, your specialism in ETD products will see you supporting those asset classes in a Systematic trading environment.

In return, you will get exposure to affirmation and matching processes using Omgeo CTM and TRAX for Fixed Income (Bond and Repo) and Equity trade flows, resolving trade breaks and following up on fails to ensure timely settlement, Cash Management/Funding, T+1 reconciliations and investigations, Corporate Actions and Coupon management, Static Data, and ensuring all processes have sound controls and mitigate risks through automation at all times.

A detailed job description is available to those who send a relevant CV. CassonX Limited is committed to providing fair employment opportunities to all applicants. We encourage anyone to apply, regardless of their background, and promote a fair and inclusive recruitment process based on merit.
