The posting

At Citi Markets, we win together. In a rapidly changing world, our shared vision gives us the clarity, agility and global perspectives we need to shape the future. That’s why collaboration plays a central role in how we deliver for clients, develop our people, and grow our business. Our operation is uniquely global, our client franchise is remarkably broad, and we provide world-class liquidity and risk transformation across cash equities, flow derivatives, and prime finance. In an evolving industry landscape, our open, meritocratic culture empowers traders to leverage Citi’s global scale, high-performance technology, and tier-one institutional reach.

We are looking for an experienced Single Stock Flow Trader at Director level to lead market-making, risk deployment, and liquidity provision across EMEA single-stock equities and derivatives in London. Operating in a high-velocity, revenue-generating seat, you will manage significant capital risk, extract spread, and drive client franchise monetization across hedge funds and asset managers. Navigating market complexity with tenacity and collaboration, you will spearhead quantitative pricing enhancements, optimize inventory financing, and partner across Sales, Research, and Electronic Execution to expand market share in a low-ego, results-oriented trading environment.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Deliver two-way pricing and principal market-making across pan-European single-stock cash and flow derivatives, managing dynamic risk (Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta, Vanna-Volga, skew, and dividend/repo) within approved VaR and stress limits.
  • Partner with Cash Equity Sales, Flow Derivatives Sales, and Prime Services to monetize institutional order flow, internalize crosses, and capture top-tier wallet share.
  • Trade and hedge idiosyncratic risk around earnings announcements, index rebalancings, dividend adjustments, corporate actions, and borrow locate constraints.
  • Collaborate with Quantitative Strategists and Technology developers to enhance algorithmic market-making models, automated hedging logic, and smart order routing.
  • Optimize desk balance sheet usage, funding costs, synthetic borrow locates, and clearing across EMEA exchanges and MTFs.
  • Supervise junior desk traders, enforce strict first-line risk and booking controls, and ensure adherence to FCA/PRA, MAR, and MiFID II regulatory standards.

What We Need from You

  • Substantial front-office trading experience (Director / Executive Director level) in Single Stock Cash Equities or Equity Derivatives at a premier global investment bank.
  • Comprehensive expertise in single-name volatility surfaces, listed/OTC options, dispersion dynamics, synthetic borrow/financing, and European equity market microstructure.
  • Advanced quantitative skills with practical proficiency in Python, SQL, or KDB/Q to develop pricing screens, backtest strategies, and automate workflows.
  • Demonstrated success pricing and executing high-touch and hybrid flows for tier-one hedge funds, asset managers, and sovereign wealth institutions.
  • Uncompromising commitment to risk discipline, compliance culture, and thorough knowledge of UK/EU market conduct regulations (MiFID II/MiFIR, MAR, FRTB).
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Quantitative Finance, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, or Economics.

What Citi Can Offer You

  • 27 days annual leave (plus bank holidays)
  • A discretional annual performance related bonus
  • Private Medical Care & Life Insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
