Nice To Haves

While a strong risk-taking instinct is a genuine plus, it is a secondary concern rather than the primary requirement.

Responsibilities

Run the book day-to-day, supporting pricing and marks, and executing and managing delta and other hedges.
Own the trade lifecycle end-to-end, from execution through settlement, including physical-share/144A mechanics and the segregated physical-shares account.
Partner with the structurer and quant teams to implement new instruments and validate their pricing, booking, and lifecycle.
Work alongside Trade and Product Control to reconcile bookings and P&L across the client, hedge, and funding legs.
Coordinate with Financial Resources and Treasury to ensure borrow and funding costs don’t quietly erode deal P&L.
Build the desk’s operational infrastructure—deal database, hedging and payout tools, and automated daily reporting—replacing manual workarounds with reliable, repeatable tooling.
