In this role, you will support institutional clients by providing electronic trading coverage across ANZ and global equity markets working closely with trading, sales, and technology teams as a quantitative link between them, making sure our algorithms behave as intended and perform well in live markets. A big part of this is researching market microstructure and trading dynamics, monitoring execution quality through transaction cost analysis, and using those insights to continually improve our trading models and execution strategies.

You will take a consultative, content led approach with clients, translating complex quantitative and technical concepts into practical advice they can act on. That includes responding to client queries, building bespoke analysis or research where needed, and contributing to broader initiatives around technology, data, and AI in the execution workflow. Our team maintain a strong focus on risk management, controls, and operational discipline to ensure everything operates safely and effectively in a global institutional trading environment.
