Company Overview
Soros Fund Management LLC (SFM) is a global asset manager and family office founded by George Soros in 1973. With $28 billion in assets under management (AUM), SFM serves as the principal asset manager for the Open Society Foundations, one of the world’s largest charitable foundations dedicated to advancing justice, human rights, and democracy.
Distinct from other investment platforms, SFM thrives on agility, acting decisively when conviction is high and exercising patience when it’s not. With permanent capital, a select group of major clients, and an unconstrained mandate, we invest opportunistically with a long-term view in a wide range of strategies and asset classes, including public and private equity and credit, fixed income, foreign exchange, and alternative assets. Our teams operate with autonomy, while cross-team collaboration strengthens our conviction and empowers us to capitalize on market dislocations.
At SFM, we foster an ownership mindset, encouraging professionals to challenge the status quo, innovate, and take initiative. We prioritize development, enabling team members to push beyond their roles, voice bold ideas, and contribute to our long-term success. This culture of continuous growth and constructive debate fuels innovation and drives efficiencies.
Our impact is measured by both the returns we generate and the values we uphold, from environmental stewardship to social responsibility. Operating as a unified team across geographies and mandates, we remain committed to our mission, ensuring a meaningful, lasting impact.
Headquartered in New York City with offices in Greenwich, Garden City, London, and Dublin, SFM employs 200 professionals.

• Identify opportunities to enhance trading workflows, controls, and overall operational efficiency.
• Assist in developing and refining trading procedures, reporting, and execution processes.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with brokers and counterparties, contributing to ongoing evaluation and partnership management.
What We Value
• 4+ years of experience in equities trading, either on the buy-side or sell-side, with strong knowledge of U.S. equity markets and market structure.
• Proven ability to build and maintain relationships with brokers and counterparties; existing network is a plus.
• Experience working in a fast-paced trading environment, supporting multiple Portfolio Managers with a high degree of accuracy and responsiveness.
• Strong understanding of trade execution, liquidity dynamics, and best execution practices.
• Highly detail-oriented with strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset, with the ability to work effectively across teams including Risk, Operations, Compliance, and Technology.
We anticipate the base salary of this role to be between $125,000-$140,000. In addition to a base salary, the successful candidate will also be eligible to receive a discretionary year-end bonus.
In all respects, candidates need to reflect the following SFM core values:
Smart risk-taking // Owner’s Mindset // Teamwork // Humility // Integrity
