Role summary
DV Group is seeking a Junior Fixed Income Relative Value Trader to support the head of a trading desk in Chicago. This role involves monitoring markets, building analytical tools, researching strategies, and executing trades. The ideal candidate has a strong quantitative background, a genuine interest in markets and technology, and exceptional attention to detail. This is an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment with a steep learning curve and significant upside potential for individuals who demonstrate drive and ownership. The position requires a full-time commitment to the Northfield, Illinois office.
About Us:
Founded 20 years ago and headquartered in Chicago, the DV Group of financial services firms has grown to more than 600 people operating throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Since spinning out of a large brokerage firm in 2016, DV Trading has rapidly scaled as an independent proprietary trading firm utilizing its own capital, trading strategies, and risk management methodologies to provide liquidity to worldwide financial markets and hedging opportunities to commodity producers and users. Now, DV group affiliates include two broker dealers, a cryptocurrency market making firm, and a bourgeoning investment adviser.
Overview:
DV is looking for a full-time right hand to the head of a highly profitable fixed-income relative-value trading desk. The team combines rigorous market analysis, sophisticated technology, and disciplined risk-taking to identify and capture opportunities across global fixed-income markets.
We operate like an entrepreneurial trading business, not a bureaucracy. Decisions are made quickly. Good ideas are tested aggressively. Everyone is expected to take ownership, solve problems, and do whatever is necessary to get the job done.
The learning curve will be steep, the standards will be unforgiving, and the hours will be driven by the markets and the work-not by the clock. For the right person, the upside is exceptional: direct exposure to portfolio construction, trade execution, quantitative research, technology development, and risk management from day one.
