Graduate Rates Trader

Scope of the role

This is a rare opportunity for a graduate to join B2C2 and to assume trading responsibility within their first 6 months. You will learn from experienced traditional finance and crypto professionals with combined experience of 50+ years alone within the crypto industry.

B2C2’s Funding Desk is London-based, and responsible for a variety of products, strategies, and business lines, each related to trading interest rates. The desk generates P&L through a variety of sell-side OTC client flow, and proprietary high-frequency trading. We extract the interest rate component of derivatives by creating delta-neutral structures – products we trade include futures, forwards, CFDs, spot, loans, plus novel crypto products. Funding impacts every trade, whether in crypto or traditional finance – so this role offers a unique perspective from which to build broad trading knowledge. It’s one of the fastest growing areas of the firm.

• Manage the overall market risk of the Funding Desk portfolio - rates, liquidity, liquidation, credit, and delta risks.
• Manage the algorithms for proprietary strategies on crypto exchanges

• Demonstration of honesty, integrity and good reputation
• Excellent teamwork and relationship management skills and a demonstrated ability to work both on own initiative and as part of a team
• Ability to develop new skills and understand market developments as required
• Aware of the importance of considering risk management and compliance issues.
• Continually demonstrates application of group policies and relevant regulatory framework
• Prior trading experience and knowledge isn’t required for this role – however, mental curiosity to solve markets-related problems is required
