OTC Exotic Derivatives Trade Support - Fintech Investment Bank (2022/ 2023/ 2024 2:1 numerate graduate with Python to commit to Trade Support/ Operations)

Martis Search are representing a City of London based, but global Fintech Investment Bank to hire a multi-asset class Trade Support Analyst. Our client is willing to consider a 2022/ 2023/ 2024 2:1 numerate graduate with Python coding experience, who is willing to commit to learning a multi-asset class Trade Support/ Operations role. This is not a stepping-stone into the Front Office; our client is looking for someone who solely wants a career in Operations and Trade Support.

This particular team covers specific asset-class support, for example Commodities and FX, and involves Operations/ Middle Office support for their Trading desks. You will need to be of graduate calibre with a 2:1 degree in a numerate based subject. The company trades a broad range of asset classes including global Equities, Fixed Income, FX (Vanilla and Structured), Interest Rate Swaps, Credit Derivatives, Futures & Options, Structured Notes, Commodities (physical and OTC) and Cryptocurrency, with constantly new asset classes being traded.

The company is innovative, technology driven and has doubled their YoY profits every year since their inception. They are one of the fastest growing, cutting edge and successful Investment Banks to work for in London. They use cutting edge proprietary trading systems and technology to serve global Institutional clients ranging from Hedge Funds, Asset Managers, Investment Banks, and Commodity producers/manufacturers.

The role is based on the trading floor, and due to the success and growth in the business, our client prefers people to be in the office 5 days per week. There will be instances whereby you can work-from-home, especially as you gain more experience in the role, but due to the pace and complexity of the role responsibilities, our client would prefer someone who is committed to being in the office.

The London Middle Office Trade Support team is based on the trading floor, using Prime Brokers, and the roles are Front-to-back Middle and Back Office support functions.

• Team of 10 in their London Middle Office, hiring globally in Operations.

• Sending trade confirmations and client statements, dealing with margin calls and settlements, as well as ensuring all relevant trades are reported correctly to meet MiFID, EMIR and Dodd-Frank regulatory frameworks.
• It is a great opportunity to learn Structured Products across all asset classes (Equities, Credit Derivatives, Structured Notes and Cryptocurrencies) and develop a good understanding of the entire operational flow and control for a complex business.

You will be a detailed and organised person, used to adapting and excelling in an evolving and challenging environment. This is a hard working Bank and Trade Support team. The hours are between 08:00 am/ 08:30 am – 18:00 pm/ 18:30 pm with mandatory 5 days per week in the office.
