Job Description
Global Banking and Markets - One Delta Product Strats - Associate / Vice President - London
Requirements
One Delta Product Strats is an interdisciplinary team responsible for the requirements gathering, design and performance evaluation of products across the one delta equities business. The team carries out a large variety of functions, but at our core we:

• Perform market structure research to understand how execution venues function & their participants trade.
• Work with clients to understand their trading objectives - including running trading experiments with them - then optimise existing or design new products to give them the best execution we can.
• Have a deep understanding of the regulatory and legal frameworks within which we operate; ensure our products align with applicable requirements; work with our Executive Office and Legal teams on related positioning.
• Own counterparty relationships with exchanges, liquidity providers, brokers and vendors; work with them to shape their own product offerings and to ensure we are best utilising the functionality and liquidity available to us.
• Develop sales content on these topics, to both educate our client base and sell our products.

The Role
Members of the team have a primary focus area - somewhat determined by your skillsets and experience - but also contribute to whatever is required by the team in the moment.

You should expect a mix of your own long term projects with highly varied, unpredictable, day-to-day work. It is important that you are a dynamic individual that can deliver to the highest standards under pressure.

Independent thinking and intellectual honesty are highly valued; as you develop you will be expected to originate the ideas that drive your own work & that of the team, and contribute to the strategy of the wider one delta business.

We look for people who can contribute full-stack as much as possible: your ideas, your research, your product, your sales.

Currently there are focus area opportunities for data scientists, markets & execution research, and product sales.

Product sales

• Work with sales traders to develop content targeting a wide range of client types (from systematic through to high touch), distilling complex concepts in to digestible insights.
• Originate ideas on how to utilise broker-unique datasets to develop new internal & external products.
• Above all you'll need a passion for what you do, to be highly dependable and have the willingness to work as hard as is needed during the hours needed of you.
