About Us

Wellington Management offers comprehensive investment management capabilities that span nearly all segments of the global capital markets.

As a private partnership, we believe our ownership structure fosters a long-term view that aligns our perspectives with those of our clients.

About the Role

We are seeking to hire a Fixed Income Trader to execute orders from Portfolio Managers and Analysts, with a strong focus on our European Credit book of business, to include cash and derivatives across the credit spectrum.

Wellington Management's Trading Department employs over 60 Traders globally, including 40 Fixed Income Traders, and operates in specialized teams according to sectors and products. Our investment and trading activities are conducted on an industry-leading internally developed technology platform, which we believe creates a meaningful competitive advantage. We are also supported by an in-house team of managers and Quantitative and Business Analysts, who oversee the 'business' of the department and provide in-depth, action-oriented insights into our trading capabilities and activities.

* An attitude and practice of proactive idea generation, and continuous review and improvement of our processes;

* Impeccable integrity, fiduciary mindset, and the ability to consistently place the interests of our clients as the number one priority;
