Execution Trader

Execution Trader, Fixed Income Hedge Fund, London [Onsite]

We are working with a highly collaborative, fixed income hedge fund based in London. They are looking to hire an Execution Trader to join their lean but growing team. This is a front office engagement, working closely to key stakeholders to manage discretionary execution across liquid rates and macro products. This is an opportunity to play a central role in a fast-paced, nascent team.

As to be expected, this role will be working predominantly on trade executions, but this is a role integrated with the PM team and is not based in a detached, centralised execution. This role will also involve working on market research to further understand the landscape which will impact the trading decisions. This will require the candidate to provide feedback directly to the PMs.

The ideal hire will have experience across the whole trade lifecycle and, preferably, within the linear rates space. Another area of interest is being able to liaise with multiple areas of the business to ensure that trade operations can run successfully and efficiently, reducing discrepancies and to ensure accurate trade processing. This is a role with excellent career progression opportunities due to the leaner structure of the fund and the fact that this is an on-desk position (not a centralised team).

In terms of characteristics the fund hires are high performing self-starters with the ability to be pragmatic in their approach to work. There is significant exposure to working with a range of stakeholders across the business and relevant counter parties externally, so strong communication skills are essential.

This is a great opportunity to join a growing fund with a flexible approach to career development. However, it is important to state that whilst moving into a risk taking role in the future is not impossible, it is not expected as a natural progression from this role.

Day-to-day:

• Execute trades across fixed income markets, supporting investment views and tactical positioning.
• Monitor trading risk and respond to evolving market conditions and liquidity dynamics.
• Work with investment teams to shape trade structures and explore idea implementation.
• Engage with brokers and internal teams to support execution quality and information flow.
• Assist with operational oversight and trade lifecycle management as needed.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of trading/trade execution or other front office rates experience, including hedge fund sales. Preferably in a tier 1 bank or already on the buy side.
• Strong understanding of financial markets and products within rates.
• Familiarity with OMS/EMS platforms and trading systems.
• Ability to work collaborative with a range of internal and external stakeholders
• Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Minimum BSc ideally within a relevant STEM subject.
• Strong commitment to integrity and professional ethics.
