You'll work directly with the CFO, CIO, and COO, acting as a key operator across finance, trading, operations, and risk.

We Want You If You Have:
Strong numeracy & coding skills - Enjoys Python/R/SQL and keen to develop your skills in this area, and apply these skills to complex business challenges.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop data-driven solutions (coding, automation, modeling) to solve high-stakes problems.
  • Act as a force multiplier - identifying inefficiencies and executing improvements independently.
