Ready to run a book with real autonomy on a global, around-the-clock desk?
- Manage trading execution and risk across global markets.
- Contribute to the workflows, tooling and processes the desk runs on.
- Competitive salary with performance bonuses.
Prodigal is a global quantitative trading firm that applies statistical strategies to global markets. Our relative value approach produces exceptional returns through a diverse portfolio of thoroughly tested, risk-controlled strategies.
We're looking for an experienced Trader to manage execution and risk on our global, multi-asset book. In this role, you'll manage real-time execution and portfolio risk, exercising judgment across markets on a desk that trades around the clock, covering Asian, European and North American sessions.
You'll operate largely autonomously on a rotating schedule, and you'll have genuine input into how our strategies are executed. Prior trading experience, ideally in quantitative or multi-asset environments, and a degree in finance, economics, mathematics or a related field are essential. Your impact will come from quick, sound decisions and the discipline you bring to live markets. This role will suit someone with the following traits:
- Exceptional analytical thinking: you understand and process complex information with ease.
- Natural numerical agility: complex calculations and data-driven decisions come naturally.
- Strong independent judgment: you're comfortable running a book solo and with minimal oversight.
- Steady composure: you consistently perform under pressure in live markets.
- Ownership mindset: you take responsibility for your shift and follow through on the detail.
- Comfort with structured autonomy: you welcome enough structure to keep things efficient, but work best with freedom.
- Clear communication skills: you get ideas across easily, especially in technical or high-paced discussions, and hand over cleanly between sessions.
Here, your expertise isn't siloed, you'll see real outcomes from your judgment, and your input on how the desk operates carries weight as the team grows.
