Who you are

You have 3-5 years of experience trading equity futures and options, demonstrating a keen intuition for markets and a passion for studying them. Your educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree or higher in Economics, Finance, or a STEM field, equipping you with the analytical skills necessary for this role. You are detail-oriented, organized, and proactive about potential operational risks, ensuring that you maintain the highest ethical standards in your trading practices.

Your exposure to SQL or Python is a plus, as you understand the importance of data in making informed trading decisions. You thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with sell-side brokers to source block liquidity and manage the RFQ/price negotiation process. Your ability to summarize trading ideas and axes will be invaluable in contributing to the team's success.

As a Trader at Point72, you will manage all non-systematic execution in futures and options, playing a crucial role in expanding the footprint of the Cubist PM team’s global futures and options-based strategy. You will liaise with the sell-side to source block liquidity, ensuring that you maintain close proximity to brokers and effectively summarize trading ideas. Your responsibilities will include sourcing market color to complement existing data sources, which may involve attending sell-side calls to gather insights.

You will help monitor parameter moves across the delta-one space, focusing on implied dividends and funding spreads. Your contributions will extend to ad hoc trade analysis and investment ideas, such as bottom-up dividend analysis and deep dives into special situations. Additionally, you will play a key role in expanding the range of tradable products, particularly in the non-listed space, and assist in the development of new and improved workflow tools for trade monitoring and analytics, collaborating closely with the team’s developers.
