Job Description

Senior Equity Analyst - Trading Desk

We are seeking a Senior Equity Analyst to join a high-performance trading desk at a globally recognized, multi-asset market-making firm. This is a high-impact role for an analyst ready to go beyond traditional research and operate at the intersection of fundamental analysis and live trading.

About the role:

This position sits directly on the trading desk, with visibility into real-time decisions and direct P\&L responsibility. You will own sector coverage, generate short-horizon, catalyst-driven insights, and partner closely with traders to optimize positions across both equity and volatility.

This is not a traditional research role. Speed, commercial judgement, and the ability to translate fundamentals into actionable trade ideas are core to success here.

What you'll do:

  • Identify and evaluate trading opportunities using fundamental, event-driven, and short-term catalyst analysis
  • Partner with traders to optimize analyst and market-making book positions
  • Perform scenario and sensitivity analyses around corporate events and macro developments
  • Translate research insights into strategies across equities and options
  • Contribute to process improvements and knowledge sharing across the analyst team
  • Mentor junior analysts and help grow the equity research function

What we're looking for:

  • 5\+ years of experience as an equity analyst within a market-making firm, proprietary trading environment, or event-driven / trading-oriented hedge fund
  • Demonstrated ability to own sector coverage and generate differentiated, actionable insights
  • Strong understanding of how fundamentals drive short-term price action and volatility
  • Comfortable applying your analytical framework across new sectors and situations
  • Options-aware thinking and experience working in fast-paced, collaborative environments

What you'll receive:

  • Highly competitive base salary and performance-based bonus
  • Global profit-sharing pool
  • 401(k) match
  • Comprehensive benefits
  • Generous vacation days plus market holidays
  • Daily meals, office perks, social events, and more
  • The opportunity to work alongside professionals globally

Location: On-site \| Seniority: Mid-Senior \| Function: Finance \& Trading
