About the job
About Us:
Established over 15 years ago and based in Chicago, DV Trading is a leading independent proprietary trading firm that has rapidly expanded its operations to over 500 staff across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Emerging from a larger brokerage in 2016, we utilize our own capital and innovative trading strategies to deliver liquidity and hedging solutions in the global financial markets. Our diverse portfolio now includes two broker dealers, a cryptocurrency market-making entity, and a growing investment advisory service.
Position Overview:
We are on the lookout for a Global Currency Hedge Trader to effectively manage and optimize the foreign exchange (FX) exposure generated by a substantial global equities trading platform. This critical role involves systematically identifying, modeling, and hedging currency risks that stem from a multi-currency equity portfolio.
The selected candidate will be a highly quantitative trader adept at designing and implementing models to dynamically optimize hedge ratios, reduce currency exposure, and manage execution across various global FX markets. Positioned closely to the trading desk, this role entails establishing a systematic framework for managing FX risk associated with global equity flows.
Ideal applicants will possess experience from a top proprietary trading firm, hedge fund, or bank FX desk and have a strong background in managing institutional-level currency exposures.
