We are looking for a single stock options trader based in London to work closely with our local and global equity options teams and help manage our European equity options book. In this role you’ll have responsibility for running our systematic and more discretionary strategies, whilst looking for opportunities to grow them.

Single stock vol trading sits at the heart of our European options operation, interfacing closely with the exotics and index options teams. We have a culture of strong collaboration both across teams and across regions. Your working relationships, trader intuition, and ability to analyse special situations will add value to our team.
