The Role
Distribution and Liquidity Management.
You will be working in a small, collaborative and highly technical team to help build and further improve our rapidly growing client business across equities, FX, precious metals, ETFs and other products.
Your initial focus will be to manage a portfolio of existing equities and FX clients, but the remit is wide, and you should expect to be challenged and grow into a cross-asset role where responsibilities are fluid and will expand alongside our US business, which is growing rapidly.
You will have full exposure to the workings of our business and be expected to contribute across what are typically three distinct roles at competitors: e-trading, e-sales, and product.
We play an active role in shaping market structure rather than just passively accepting the status quo: market participants will tell you things are impossible or just plain absurd, and you will achieve them anyway.

All bonuses, benefits, and any sign-on payments are in addition to the base salary range stated.
Interview format
Our interview process is highly selective.
The first stage is an introductory meeting with the hiring manager, which will include technical questions and a general discussion.
In the next stage you will meet additional members of the team and complete a quant interview with another set of technical questions.
Technical questions will focus on trading intuition and seek to gain an understanding of whether you can reason from first principles about market microstructure and liquidity management topics. No preparation is necessary and we’re looking for signs of potential rather than the finished product.
The final interview will be with a member of the XTX executive committee.
