About the Role
As a junior trader, you will help run and grow our Corporate/Issuer Equity Derivatives franchise. You will assist in pricing, hedging, booking, and risk-managing the full corporate product suite. You will also support institutional notes business lines.
Responsibilities
- Run the book day-to-day, supporting pricing and marks, and executing and managing delta and other hedges.

- 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.
Requirements
- Resourceful junior based in New York, with exposure to corporate and equity derivatives and real trade-lifecycle fluency.
- Wants to sit on a desk, learn the book thoroughly, and help build the business.
- Values matter to you.
