Trader Assistant (investment pod) - Hedge Fund - £75-100k base 100% bonus potential

A highly prestigious multi-strategy hedge fund, are looking to hire a trader assistant specific to its highest performing fixed income investment pod.

Sat with the ‘pod’ on desk, this hire will be the pod’s first dedicated TA, working for an industry recognised portfolio manager and trader. The headcount is part of front office, with tasks very much aligned to market / street facing responsibilities, extending to pricing, risk and execution oversight. As the work is highly analytical + as the trader expects the TA to work with him on automation projects, the hire will use python, SQL and VBA to a strong standard

Candidates should ideally be hedge fund TA’s with 2-5yrs experience. We could consider very smart, technical ops analysts to step up. We would potentially consider an IB trader assistant. A macro / fixed income / rates specialism is a hard requirement, as are solid skills in either python, SQL or VBA. Our client is also putting a focus on academics.

The role will pay a £75-100k base (for candidates with 5yrs experience there is potential flexibility). Pod TA’s at the firm receive 100% bonuses if they perform to a strong standard.
