Options Trader | New York

Proprietary Trading | Derivatives | Digital Assets

Mid-Senior to Senior | Remote Initially | Confidential Search

Are you an experienced Options Trader with a strong PnL track record who enjoys the freedom to develop your own strategies, make trading decisions and take real ownership of your performance?

We're working with a privately owned, global proprietary trading firm looking for an Options Trader to join its growing team in New York.

This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-moving trading environment, enjoys taking calculated risks and wants to be part of a business where good ideas are valued and decisions are made quickly.

The Firm

Our client is a privately owned, multi-strategy proprietary trading firm operating across traditional derivatives and digital asset markets globally.

The firm trades its own capital, giving its traders the freedom to focus on identifying opportunities, developing profitable strategies and delivering results without the pressures of external investors.

It's a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment with a flat structure, sophisticated trading technology and a team of experienced traders, quants and developers working closely together.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on trading role offering genuine autonomy and the opportunity to make a direct impact.

You'll take ownership of your own options strategies, manage your positions and work closely with the firm's quantitative and technology teams to continuously improve trading performance.

What makes this opportunity particularly interesting is the longer-term potential. For the right person, there's an opportunity to grow beyond managing your own book and eventually build and lead a trading desk.

With the firm's growing involvement in digital assets, traders who have experience across both traditional options and crypto derivatives will find this particularly interesting.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Develop, execute and continuously improve options trading strategies across global markets.
  • Take ownership of your trading positions, including risk management, hedging and exposure to volatility.
  • Analyse market data, pricing and volatility to identify profitable trading opportunities.
  • Work closely with quants and developers to improve trading models, algorithms and execution tools.
  • Monitor market movements, macroeconomic developments and news that could influence your strategies.
  • Manage execution and liquidity to ensure efficient trading performance.
  • Contribute ideas and expertise to the ongoing development of the firm's trading technology and infrastructure.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in speaking with experienced Options Traders who have a strong understanding of derivatives markets and, most importantly, a proven ability to generate consistent PnL.

Ideally, you'll bring:

  • Several years of options trading experience at mid-senior or senior level, with a demonstrable personal PnL track record.
  • Strong knowledge of options pricing, volatility, derivatives and risk management.
  • A quantitative and analytical approach to trading, with the confidence to make decisions in fast-moving markets.
  • A degree from a respected university in Finance, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.
  • Experience trading crypto or digital asset options would be a significant advantage, although it's not essential.
  • Knowledge of Python, C++ or similar programming languages would be beneficial, but isn't a requirement.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset, with the motivation to take ownership, contribute ideas and continuously improve performance.
  • The ability to work independently while collaborating with traders, quants and developers.

Location & Working Arrangements

New York | Initially Remote

The role is currently remote while the firm establishes its physical office in New York.

You'll need to be based in the New York area and comfortable transitioning to an office-based environment once the local team and office are established.

Candidates must already have the legal right to work in the United States, as visa sponsorship is not available.

Interested?

If you're an experienced Options Trader with a strong PnL track record and you're looking for more autonomy, the opportunity to trade across traditional and digital asset markets, and the potential to build something longer term, we'd love to hear from you.

Get in touch with Saron Erasmus [email protected] or call +1 415 367 3989 to learn more about the firm, the team and the opportunity.

  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
