About The Position
As a Trading Associate at Bridgewater Associates, you will execute trades, generate and evaluate ideas for how to make better trading decisions, and collaborate with strategists and technologists to constantly improve our processes, focusing on improving the implementation of our logic or increasing efficiency. Through extensive on-desk formal training and on-the-job informal instruction, TAs become well-versed in Bridgewater’s trade execution strategies, the logic used to implement our strategies, and the production systems used to facilitate our logic. Once trained, our TAs carry out the core responsibilities of our department, including implementing our desired exposures, developing a distinct view of the outside world through close interaction with the markets, and driving the evolution of our execution strategy. Traders at BW do not have discretion in their trading and do not “manage a book” – instead, traders execute our desired exposures using a systematic set of rules developed by our team and strive to improve those rules by developing a world-class understanding of markets. This team is based in CT and trades global markets. Trading shifts may vary, but typical shifts include coverage during Asian, European, or New York market hours. A deep sense of intellectual curiosity will be needed to fuel your ability to deepen our understanding of ever-changing market structure and to drive the evolution of our systematic process.
