The Trader will execute and manage financing activity across our global investment platform, working closely with portfolio managers and our trading teams in Boston, London and Hong Kong.

• Superior collaboration skills – The Trader will build strong relationships externally with dealers and other financing‑market participants and internally with portfolio managers, analysts and traders.
• Risk‑management mindset – The Trader will understand and actively manage the liquidity, collateral, counterparty, settlement and operational risks associated with financing markets.
• Growth and technology mindset – The successful candidate will have a strong interest in the evolution of electronic repo trading, central clearing, collateral optimisation and automation.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 2 years' relevant repo or secured financing trading/sales G10 markets.
• Strong understanding of trading experience, preferably focused on repo/reverse repo, GC and specials, financing curves, term structures and collateral mechanics.
• Experience across government bonds, agencies, supranationals and/or credit financing would be additive.
• Strong analytical skills and understanding of the interaction between Pro cash securities and financing markets.
• Pro‑technology mindset; experience with Python, SQL or other analytical tools would be additive.
• Strong communication skills and ability to build trusted relationships with both investment teams and counterparties.
• Self starter with the ability to identify opportunities to improve financing processes and investment outcomes.
• Impeccable integrity, fiduciary mindset and strong attention to risk, controls and operational precision.
