About the Role

Build, run and develop EXANTE's principal trading book across asset classes. Provide liquidity against client flow, manage the resulting inventory and hedge residual exposure to generate P&L within the firm's regulatory, best-execution and conflict-of-interest framework, with full P&L responsibility for the principal trading book.

Reporting line: Chief Operations Officer.

Worksite : Remote

Responsibilities

Principal trading book - provide liquidity against client flow, internalise and aggregate exposures where commercially attractive, manage inventory and hedge residual market risk.
Trading strategies - market making, flow trading, relative-value and other legitimate strategies the candidate identifies, within Board-approved risk limits.
Counterparty and execution venues - identify, negotiate and onboard the exchanges, prime brokers and OTC counterparties needed for hedging and inventory management.
Risk management framework - in partnership with the Risk function, design, implement and operate the risk limits, monitoring and escalation framework for the book.
Stock Lending cooperation - coordinate securities inventory, financing and revenue with the existing Stock Lending team, avoiding disruption to that revenue line.
Desk cooperation - work with the Options Trading and Fixed Income & Structured Products desks to ensure complementary principal books and shared risk visibility.
Operations and platform - cooperate with Operations, Treasury and Technology on workflow, financing, settlement and platform tooling.
Conflict and best execution - manage conflicts of interest, best-execution arrangements and product-governance compliance across the relevant booking entities (MiFID II, FCA, SFC and equivalent regimes).
Team build-out - size, composition and sequencing at the hire's discretion as the book grows, consistent with the approved business plan.

Experience

10-20 years' experience in principal trading, flow trading, market making or running a multi-asset trading book at a sell-side firm, broker-dealer, prime broker or proprietary trading house, with documented P&L through different market regimes.
Multi-asset risk management - strong background across delta, gamma, vega, correlation, liquidity and counterparty risk.
Regulatory expertise - hands-on familiarity with the MiFID II Systematic Internaliser regime, best-execution obligations and conflict-of-interest management in a regulated broker-dealer environment is essential.
Securities financing - familiarity with securities financing and stock lending operations is a strong plus.
Cooperative profile - non-negotiable; the role only succeeds by working closely with the existing Stock Lending team and the new trading desks, and a track record of operating effectively across desks and functions is expected.
Fluent English - mandatory.
Commercial and disciplined - technical, comfortable with full accountability for a P&L.
