CassonX are delighted to have been asked to recruit for this amazing $9bn Fixed Income focussed Relative Value Macro fund based in St James’s. This business hires outstandingly talented individuals who are not only intelligent and work autonomously, but those who thrive in an environment where everyone sits in the Front Office. Everyone has astonishingly good communication skills, and ability to work with various different stakeholders comfortably, with a mindset of making sure that all work is done well, timely and successfully. It’s a very collaborative environment, hard work and everyone helps each other out and can work out all technical challenges logically, and in return they pay well above market bonuses. The Leader of this team is hugely inspirational.

To be considered for this junior role, CassonX are looking to identify someone with 1 -7 years experience in an Operations or Middle Office role. Obvious preference is for someone who comes from a buyside or prime brokerage operations or middle office background, and certainly if you have Fixed Income (cash and OTC & ETD derivatives) product knowledge.

Experience of directly working with traders and their complex queries and investigations is of paramount importance, and tenacity coupled with dedication to do the best you can. We are looking for someone who is “keen”, and will embrace such a good opportunity. Preference will be given to those who can showcase at least one of the following:

  • OTC knowledge and experience of Markitwire
  • Fixed Income knowledge and experience of CTM,
  • Listed product knowledge and experience of Traiana or Harmony

In return for a successful face to face interview process, you will be rewarded with an incredibly varied Traders Assistant type role, working in a youthful yet talented team, directly working with the Portfolio Managers and Traders, which encompasses everything supporting the Trade Lifecycles, PnL, Pricing, Risk Management, various Reconciliations and FX hedging as example.

Further information is available to those who submit a relevant CV. Note this role is 4 days in office each week, and each year you can work for four 1 week periods anywhere in the world.
