The posting

Zurich | Full-time, permanent | Mid-senior

What you'll be doing

You'll run a discretionary G10 FX options book end to end: setting strategy, managing the Greeks and executing across listed and OTC markets. You'll work closely with traders, quant researchers and developers to improve pricing models, hedging and execution, with the aim of delivering strong risk-adjusted returns.

About the firm

A well-capitalised, international proprietary trading firm active across asset classes, currently expanding its options business. Expect a collaborative, fast-moving desk with strong tech and quant support.

Day to day

  • Develop and refine FX options strategies across major pairs (EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, USD/CHF and others)
  • Trade volatility dynamics: skew, risk reversals, term structure, implied vs realised
  • Read order flow and market microstructure for opportunities
  • Work with quants and developers on pricing, hedging and execution tools
  • Stay close to central bank policy, rate differentials, macro data and geopolitics
  • Execute across listed and OTC options, spot and forwards
  • Manage delta, gamma, vega and theta, adjusting hedges around key events
  • Contribute to the firm's data pipelines and analytics, and track performance and risk

About you

  • Degree in Finance, Maths, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering or similar from a strong university
  • Solid FX options background, with deep knowledge of pricing theory and volatility trading
  • Experience in high-volatility, leveraged markets
  • A track record of consistent profitability (PnL above $2m annually for 3+ years)
  • Quantitative, analytical and decisive
  • Strong communicator, proactive and self-motivated
  • Nice to have: prop, market-making or hedge fund experience, automated or algorithmic options execution, and Python, Excel/VBA or SQL

Please note: You must already have the right to work in Switzerland. Sponsorship isn't available.

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.
