London, United Kingdom DRW Full time

**DRW** is a diversified trading firm with over 3 decades of experience bringing sophisticated technology and exceptional people together to operate in markets around the world. We value autonomy and the ability to quickly pivot to capture opportunities, so we operate using our own capital and trading at our own risk.

Headquartered in Chicago with offices throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, we trade a variety of asset classes including Fixed Income, ETFs, Equities, FX, Commodities and Energy across all major global markets. We have also leveraged our expertise and technology to expand into three non-traditional strategies: real estate, venture capital and cryptoassets.

We operate with respect, curiosity and open minds. The people who thrive here share our belief that it's not just what we do that matters-it's how we do it. **DRW** is a place of high expectations, integrity, innovation and a willingness to challenge consensus.

- Manage competing priorities and keep internal trading teams and stakeholders informed of status throughout the entire onboarding process and escalate issues as needed
- Handle sensitive and confidential information in accordance with DRW's policies
- Recommend, develop, and implement solutions to support continuous improvement to our processes and procedures
- Use critical thinking and problem solving skills to independently anticipate, analyze, escalate and resolve any issues

**Required Skills & Experience**:
