Execution Trader

At IMC, we operate in some of the most competitive and fast-paced markets in the world.

You’ll be the primary point of contact for key brokers and counterparties, representing the team externally and driving strong execution outcomes.

This is a unique opportunity for someone entrepreneurial, proactive, and commercially minded. You’ll take full responsibility for the execution landscape in this market, identifying opportunities, optimizing flow, and elevating our execution quality. As our coverage expands, you’ll be at the center of it: managing multiple requests simultaneously, staying on top of market nuance, and ensuring we capture and maximize every opportunity.

• Report execution results, observations, and insights to internal stakeholders
• Review historical trade data to assess execution quality and identify areas for improvement
