• Highly financially motivated—you want your earnings to reflect your effort and success
• Resilient under pressure—able to navigate highs and lows with professionalism
• Competitive and goal-oriented—you thrive on outperforming targets
• Commercially aware—interested in business, finance, and global market trends
• Organised and self-starting—with the drive to take ownership of your desk from day one

Why This Role?
