Trading Operations Specialists work to further enhance the robustness of the firm’s operations workflows and to enable trading and customer offerings in new markets and asset classes.

- Communicating with counter parties and clients, as needed
- Monitoring intra-trading day processes to ensure smooth operation
- Building relationships with third party providers
THE CANDIDATE:
- 2 - 6 years of experience working in a trade support role at a financial institution (banks and trading firms preferred).
- Experience in middle and/or back office trading operations, with a solid understanding of clearing and settlement cycles.
- A natural problem solver who seeks to improve upon trading operations workflows.
- Exceptional communicator who can translate their ideas into workable solutions.
- Ability to take a complex program and design workable solutions.
- Settlements experience is preferred.
- Corporate Actions experience is a plus.
- Interest in growing programming abilities (experience in SQL is required/Python is a plus).
PERKS
- Virtu is a fast paced meritocracy where employees are rewarded for their contributions to the firm.
- A stocked kitchen with breakfast and snacks, along with a barista bar.
- Close knit team environment with weekly happy hours.
- 25 days of paid time off a year, unlimited sick leave and exceptional health insurance plan options.
- Opportunities for travel to international offices.
