3 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom 10500 WMC Wellington Management Company LLP Full time

About the Role

The Position

We are seeking to hire a Fixed Income Trader with a focus on execution of currency orders from portfolio managers across our EMEA book of business, to include cash and derivatives in foreign exchange instruments. This is an execution role, but there is significant opportunity and expectation to add value to client portfolios through collaboration with portfolio managers and analysts.

This position is based in London and will be situated on the Trading Desk at our offices, which are located at Cardinal Place, 80 Victoria Street. This trader will be working collaboratively with our global trading teams located in Boston, London, and Hong Kong.

Wellington Management's trading philosophy and practices are based on the principles of seeking best execution, contributing to portfolio alpha, and managing regulatory, operational, liquidity and investment risks. We seek to execute orders in a manner consistent with these principles and in accordance with our written policies, which emphasize the fair dissemination, aggregation, and allocation of investment opportunities across our investment platform and ultimately our clients. 

Wellington Management’s Trading Department employs over 60 traders globally 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.

Responsibilities

Principal responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

Executing currency transactions, using a mixture of execution methods, for all relevant accounts under management.

Executing orders in a manner consistent with our best execution and risk management practices, as well as our policies and procedures.

Gathering, analyzing, and disseminating market, sector and instrument information that identifies or creates actionable investment opportunities.

Developing and enhancing over time an in-depth understanding of the investment philosophies and strategies of our portfolio managers, strategists, and analysts.

Soliciting potential trade interest from portfolio managers and locating external supply/identifying internal demand for liquidity opportunities in the market.

Remaining informed of new product developments.

Fostering new trading relationships and leveraging existing relationships.

Monitoring and improving efforts to enhance efficiency while mitigating risk.

Qualifications

A successful candidate should have the following qualifications:

Minimum of 2 years' relevant trading experience. Experience trading a wide array of instruments would be additive.

Strong academic credentials: Undergraduate degree is required; MBA/CFA would be viewed favorably

Strong analytical skills and an ability to apply those skills in a highly practical fashion.

A pro-technology mindset and the ability to leverage technology to improve effectiveness and efficiency.

Quantitative skills and/or programming experience would be additive.

Strong interpersonal skills and experience in a collaborative, team-based, results-oriented environment

An attitude and practice of proactive idea generation and continuous review and improvement of our processes.

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

Strong work ethic.

Ability to work quickly and accurately in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Strong organizational and communication skills.

A precision and risk management mindset that results in accurate and compliant work and manifests itself in double-checking work, stopping to question anything unusual, and frequent reconciliation of work throughout the day.

Please note that this is a certified persons role (UK only).

Please note that we are only able to respond to successful applicants.
