Trader Assistant – Global Hedge Fund – Lucrative compensation package

Our client, a high performing global hedge fund, is looking to make a newly created trader assistant hire (due to internal progression into a trader seat) in London.

The role will have ownership over 5-6 traders/portfolios, which are cross-strategy, to run a broad front office focused remit that includes managing spreads, unwinds, novations, orders, and picking up execution tasks. The hire will also work on many ad-hoc tasks and projects for the traders that they cover, as well as process automation projects more broadly within the TA team (coding skills and/or an aptitude to develop coding skills are therefore useful in this role).

The role is budgeted to pay a base salary of between £80 – 110k with a target bonus level of 50% in year one, while longer-term TAs globally can typically earn 70-100% bonuses. The fund provides all staff with a great benefits package, and while this is a desk role, they can offer WFH flexibility.
