The role requires sound judgement in execution strategy, risk management and counterparty selection, while maintaining the highest standards of compliance, operational excellence and attention to detail.

Skills and experience we’re looking for

• Demonstrated experience in equity trading, with a strong understanding of market structure, trading systems and operating within a regulated environment.
• Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to interpret market data, assess trading performance and provide insights to investment teams.
• Experience in programme trading, particularly index basket trading around MSCI and FTSE rebalances, is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of electronic trading strategies, algorithmic execution and the use of algo wheel frameworks to optimise execution outcomes.
• Understanding of Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) and how trading performance reviews can be used to drive continuous improvement and enhance execution quality.

In this role you’ll be ‘Certified’ under the Financial Conduct Authority / Prudential Regulation Authority’s Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR). This means that we’ll need to complete some regulatory background checks on you before you take up your role and we’ll need to ask you some questions on an annual basis to make sure you remain ‘fit and proper’ and competent to carry out your role. We’ll provide training on what holding a SMCR role means when you join us and annually thereafter.
