- Degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a quantitative/technical field
- Some exposure to finance, trading, derivatives, commodities or capital markets (university projects, internships, thesis work or early work experience are all fine)
- Excellent Excel skills; basic coding is an advantage
- High attention to detail and strong organisational skills
- A self‑starter who takes initiative in a small, fast‑moving environment
- Comfortable speaking with clients after training and development
- A second European language is a plus
