ABOUT THIS ROLE

We are seeking a Convertible Bonds Trader to join our convertibles desk, with a specific mandate around volatility-driven strategies. This is a hands-on trading seat - not a research or support role - for someone who understands
convertible arbitrage mechanics and wants to build a career around trading the volatility component of converts (gamma, vega, skew) alongside credit and equity-linked risk.

You'll be Responsible for:
• Trade convertible bonds with an emphasis on the embedded optionality - managing gamma, vega, and volatility exposure across the book
• Identify and execute relative value opportunities between convertible bonds, their underlying equity, listed options, and credit
• Monitor and hedge delta, gamma, and vega exposures in real time; adjust hedges as underlying equity and implied vol shift
• Build and refine pricing/valuation views using derivatives pricing tools, challenging model outputs against market-observed levels
• Analyze issuer credit quality, capital structure, and fixed income terms (yield-to-worst, conversion premium, credit spread) as inputs to trade decisions
• Partner with senior traders on position sizing, risk limits, and book construction
• Stay current on primary issuance, calls/puts, corporate actions, and other events that affect convert valuations

YOUR EXPERIENCE:
• 2-5 years of experience trading or supporting a trading function in convertible bonds, equity derivatives, or
volatility products
• Strong grounding in options theory (Black-Scholes, Greeks, vol surfaces, skew/term structure dynamics)
• Solid fixed income math (yield curves, duration, credit spreads, YTW/YTM/YTC mechanics)
• Proficiency with Bloomberg (CBs, OMON, derivatives pricing functions) and other derivatives pricing/analytics platforms
• Demonstrated ability to think in terms of risk (Greeks) rather than just price
• Strong quantitative reasoning and comfort making decisions under uncertainty and time pressure
• Excel proficiency required; Python or other scripting ability a plus for automating analysis
• A competitive, self-directed mindset suited to a prop trading environment - you'll be given real risk and expected to earn more of it
• No specific degree required - track record and demonstrated market knowledge matter more than pedigree

What We Offer
• Direct access to senior traders and firm capital - no lengthy rotational program
• Performance-based compensation structure
• A focused, specialized seat (convertibles/vol) rather than a generalist rotation
• A merit-driven culture where trading results, not tenure, dictate advancement
