Global FX: spot, forwards, NDFs and options
Money markets: deposits, certificates of deposit, European commercial paper, short-dated bonds and repo/reverse repo
Monitor market conditions, central bank activity, economic releases and positioning to support execution discussions
Develop and maintain strong relationships with banks, brokers, liquidity providers and venues to support pricing and reliable access to liquidity
Deliver timely market colour, trade ideas, liquidity assessments and implementation advice
Contribute to pre- and post-trade analysis, sharing observations on liquidity, market impact and certainty of completion
Advise on trends and opportunities to improve execution outcomes
Partner with trading colleagues to evaluate execution options across electronic, algorithmic, RFQ and voice channels
Drive improvements to systems, analytics, automation and controls

5-7+ years of relevant trading experience gained within an asset manager, hedge fund, investment bank or treasury function
Solid understanding of pricing, liquidity, market microstructure, derivatives, and electronic and voice trading
A disciplined approach to execution quality and associated controls
The ability to draw relevant conclusions from market data and communicate them clearly across the investment team
Experience using order and execution management systems
Strong communication and relationship management skills, together with the confidence to challenge constructively
High standards of integrity, discretion and personal accountability
