Full Job Description
The Corporate Derivatives Trading desk within the Institutional Equity Division is responsible for pricing, trading, and risk-managing both vanilla and complex derivative products for corporate clients of the firm. Products range from vanilla options to more complex exotic payoffs and margin lending. Trades typically consist of single stock underliers, but given the complexity of some of the risks, members of the desk must be able to understand a wide variety of instruments and financial markets.

Traders on the team are responsible for:
  • Pricing and structuring of margin loans and derivatives transactions for corporate and wealth clients
  • Collaborating with members of the Global Capital Markets and IED derivatives teams on idea generation and structuring of client requests
  • Conducting research on stocks / companies in order to evaluate risks and make trading decisions
  • Daily risk management and hedging of the trading books, including close interaction with other traders and brokers
  • Driving forward new technology and infrastructure projects with IT and desk strategists


The trading desk currently consists of a small team looking to hire a senior associate/VP level candidate to help with all the above responsibilities.

The ideal candidate will have minimum 2-3 years experience on margin loans and derivatives engineering and trading with an ability to understand more complex payoffs, and will be proactive, a team player, and willing to learn and take on responsibility quickly.

Expected base pay rates will be between $150,000 and $250,000 per year at the commencement of employment. However, base pay if hired will be determined on an individualized basis and is only part of the total compensation package, which, depending on the position, may also include commission earnings, incentive compensation, discretionary bonuses, other short and long-term incentive packages, and other Morgan Stanley sponsored benefit programs.
