About the Company
Our client is a long-established boutique investment and capital markets firm with a strong track record in equities, wealth management, and corporate advisory. Over the past two decades, the business has built a reputation for delivering tailored investment solutions and execution excellence to institutional and high-net-worth clients.
Following significant growth in the last 18 months and with further expansion on the horizon, the firm is strengthening its trading operations to ensure continued efficiency, accuracy, and exceptional client service.
About the Role
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the fast-paced world of capital markets and has a sharp eye for detail, strong numerical capability, and the ability to execute trades and manage administrative processes with precision.
You'll work closely with senior dealers and operations leaders, assisting with trade execution, client onboarding, compliance tasks, and day-to-day operational support across multiple capital markets activities.
Key Responsibilities include:
- Executing client orders accurately and efficiently in line with compliance and operational standards.
- Managing and maintaining the Daily Trade Register (DTR) to ensure data accuracy and timely settlements.
- Supporting client onboarding, including AML/KYC checks and account setup.
- Assisting with capital raisings, IPOs, and placements (documentation, cash positions, and client communication).
- Providing administrative and compliance support to senior team members.
- Acting as a backup for senior dealers to ensure continuous coverage and seamless execution.
This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same - you'll gain end-to-end exposure to the trading lifecycle and play a key role in enabling the firm's next phase of growth.
About You
You're a proactive, detail-oriented individual who thrives in a dynamic, high-performance environment. You enjoy working with numbers, have a keen interest in markets, and take pride in getting things right the first time.
To be successful, you will ideally have:
- 4 + years' experience in a broking, trading, or investment operations environment.
- Solid understanding of trade execution or middle-office processes (equities, derivatives, or fixed income).
- High numerical aptitude and excellent analytical skills.
- Proficiency in Excel (pivots, VLOOKUPs, formulas).
- Strong communication skills and confidence dealing with clients and counterparties.
- RG146 accreditation (preferred but not essential - training can be provided).
- A "can-do" attitude, with the ability to stay calm and focused under pressure.
Key Benefits
- Opportunity to work directly with senior dealers and operations leaders in a boutique environment.
- Broad exposure across trading, capital markets, and compliance.
- Career progression and professional development support, including RG146 training.
- Collaborative and supportive team culture.
- Competitive salary package: $100,000 - $130,000 base + super + bonus, commensurate with experience.
