Join a market-leading Derivatives & Trading team within a major asset management and investment funds group.

This is a hands-on role for a candidate who wants ownership of complex, high-value matters and to develop as a senior specialist in derivatives and trading in a supportive, high-performing environment.

Qualified solicitor with 4+ years' PQE in derivatives/trading.
Proven buy-side experience across ISDA/OTC, prime brokerage, repo, securities lending and related documentation.

Track record of working on multi-jurisdictional, high-value matters; strong academic background.
