ICAP

ICAP, part of TP ICAP group, provides a wide variety of execution and information services to wholesale market participants.

We offer broking services covering a wide range of asset classes, including Commodities, Credit, Equities, FX, Money Market Funds and Rates.

For each asset class, ICAP offers e-trading capability, giving clients the option to enter prices and execute trades directly via one of our hybrid electronic trading systems, or to engage with brokers who can identify and negotiate trades

Role Overview

ICAP is seeking a bright, intellectually curious and enthusiastic graduate to join its Energy & Commodities business in the Durham / Chapel Hill area of North Carolina.

  • Monitor markets, financial news, identifying potential trading opportunities and strategies.
  • Support accurate and timely trade capture, record keeping and resolution of trade queries.
  • Work alongside experienced brokers to provide reliable client coverage by telephone, messaging and face to face.
  • Support the desk with daily activities as requested.
  • Over time, take on increasing client responsibility and develop the skills and relationships required to build your own client base.
  • Promote TP ICAP Group.

Why it works

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.
