Trader Assistant (Wholesale Team)

Please note: This is not a junior trading role. If you would like to pursue your career in trading, please apply directly for our graduate trading jobs.

Who we are
Optiver is an international and innovative proprietary trading firm. We deal with highly-automated electronic market making activities in a wide variety of financial products such as derivatives, stocks and fixed income. With offices in Amsterdam, Chicago and Sydney, employing around 600 talented individuals from over 30 nationalities, we trade in more than 20 countries, across 5 continents, 24 hours a day.

What you’ll do
As our new Trader Assistant you will be part of our Wholesale Team.  Within a highly competitive and fast changing environment, right on the trading floor, you will act as the key link between our Wholesale traders in the Equities and Index Team and our Mid Office department. You will be responsible for managing large amounts of data, structuring trading sheets and administrating trading files. You will not only assist the Wholesale traders, but you will also manage the settlement of trades, lead small projects and build relationships (online) with trading partners.  In order to successfully do this, we will give you the opportunity to obtain certificates from various exchanges.

What you’ll need

Our Culture
No suits, no ties and no red tape. Our culture is one of our most valuable assets: result-driven, open and informal, team-based, ambitious and exceedingly flexible, whilst striving for professionalism within all our departments.

Our offices are modern and offer many stress-relieving extras, such as pool tables, table football and more. We give our employees the flexibility to be innovative, research their ideas and act upon them. Our working environment is ideal for ambitious and talented people who enjoy a challenge. Despite the independent nature of our profession, we are a very team-oriented company.

What you’ll get
Excellent remuneration, great profit sharing, the opportunity to obtain certificates from several exchanges, full first-class home-work travel compensation, training opportunities, relocation package, discounts on health insurance, breakfast and lunch facilities, Friday-afternoon drinks and – yes - even in-house chair massages.
