What You Bring

Education & Certifications

Bachelor’s degree or higher in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative discipline

Professional certifications in financial markets (CFA, CMT, CFTe) are a strong advantage

Experience

3–6 years of experience in a dealing, dealer expert, or market analysis role within a regulated FX/CFD brokerage environment—this is the primary experience requirement

Demonstrated experience operating at or alongside a dealing desk: reading aggregate flow, managing book-level exposure, and interpreting trader behaviour at scale

Proven track record producing structured analytical reports and intelligence for senior stakeholders—business conclusions, not just data outputs

Prior exposure to the proprietary trading industry—challenge structures, funded account mechanics, payout dynamics—is a strong advantage

Experience managing or directing a team or analytical function is preferred

Technical Skills

Proficiency in MT4 and MT5—platform configuration, trade execution mechanics, back-office settings, and symbol management

Strong quantitative skills; advanced Excel proficiency; Python, R, or equivalent tools for data analysis and modelling are a significant advantage

Ability to read, interpret, and direct Python-based analytical tools—specification and output validation, not production code authorship

Comfort working with large trading datasets: trade logs, aggregated flow data, margin and exposure reports

Familiarity with bridging technology, liquidity provider infrastructure, or dealing desk risk tools is an advantage

Your X-Factor

Thinks in populations, not individual cases—instinctively asks ‘what does the whole book look like?’ before ‘what is this one trader doing?’

Translates data into business decisions, not observations—the output is always ‘here is what this means and what we should do’, not ‘here is what the data shows’

Intellectually independent—surfaces uncomfortable findings without waiting to be asked, and defends conclusions with evidence

Collaborative by design—this function serves three teams simultaneously and must communicate clearly across different mandates

Disciplined in ambiguous environments—this function has no established playbook; the right candidate builds one
