Trading Assistant (Front Office) - Global Macro Hedge Fund Job at OCR Alpha, New York, NY

  • OCR Alpha
  • New York, NY

Job Description

We are partnering with a top-tier global macro hedge fund that is looking to add a Trading Assistant to its growing team. The firm has expanded significantly in recent years and now operates across multiple international markets.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to be close to the trading desk and gain meaningful exposure to markets, trading strategies and the full trade life-cycle.

The role sits directly alongside the investment team (separate to the Operations team), working closely with Portfolio Managers and Traders as well as colleagues across Operations and Technology. You will play a key role in ensuring trades move smoothly from execution through to settlement, while also helping improve the systems and processes supporting the desk.

Career progression is ultimately geared towards a move into the front office. While the timing of this transition will depend on individual performance, business needs and opportunity, the firm has a strong track record of developing talent internally and providing clear pathways for progression.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Monitoring trade activity and ensuring trades and positions are accurately captured
  • Providing day-to-day support to Traders and Portfolio Managers
  • Assisting with futures rolls and other trading-related events
  • Partnering with Technology teams on automation and process improvements
  • Helping identify opportunities to make trading workflows more efficient

What We're Looking For:

The ideal candidate will have experience supporting a trading or investment team, either within a hedge fund, asset manager or investment bank.

You should have:

  • A solid understanding of the trade life-cycle
  • Exposure to both listed and OTC products
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment
  • A genuine interest in markets, technology and improving processes.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build a career at the heart of a high-performing trading environment, with direct exposure to senior investment professionals and the chance to make a tangible impact as the platform continues to grow.
