Valuation Risk (Equity Derivatives Front Office) – Global Hedge Fund – $300-400K Total Comp

My client, a market leading, global, multi-billion dollar AUM hedge fund, are looking to make a newly created hire for its equities trading desk.

The firm’s US equity derivatives business is rapidly expanding - their New York office is looking to hire a newly created hire for its equity derivatives trading desk. This role, working as the most senior person in a team of three, directly supports the equity derivatives Portfolio Managers, Traders and quants that you’ll sit with.

The hire will help buildout internal system infrastructure focusing on the pricing and valuation of equity derivative products, lead the setup of new products, verification of pricing models, as well as the observation and analysis of P&L. You will be the go-to point of contact for industry leading portfolio managers looking to resolve pricing, position and risk related issues. This is both a highly technical and commercial / street facing role (managing relationships with brokers). The hire can also expect to learn python, SQL and VBA to a strong standard on this role (albeit no prior experience is required).

Candidates should have strong experience in either trading / valuations / risk management / financial engineering roles. Candidates must have a strong background in equity derivatives. A strong academic profile (maths/science/engineering preference) is required. We have a preference to look at candidates that have good programming skills (albeit it is not a pre-requsiite).

The role will roughly pay a $300-400k year one total comp. My client provides all employees with a market leading benefits package.
