Build Your Trading Career with Greater Exposure, Mentorship & Impact

A premier Registered Investment Advisor in Midtown Manhattan is seeking a Junior Fixed Income Trader to join its collaborative investment team.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an emerging fixed income professional who wants to do more than simply execute trades. You’ll work directly with experienced Portfolio Managers, Analysts, and Traders while gaining meaningful exposure to portfolio strategy, bond selection, market analysis, and investment decision-making.

With more than six decades of success, this privately held firm offers the resources and stability of an established institution combined with the accessibility and entrepreneurial culture of an independent investment firm.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Accelerate Your Career: Gain hands-on experience in trading strategy, portfolio construction, and investment decisions.
• Learn from Experienced Investors: Work closely with senior Traders and Portfolio Managers who value mentorship and professional development.
• Have a Voice: Provide market color, trading insights, and ideas that directly contribute to the investment process.
• Gain Broader Exposure: Build relationships with broker-dealers and trading desks while expanding your knowledge of fixed income markets.
• Join a Stable, Collaborative Firm: Become part of a respected organization with deep client relationships, a long history of success, and a culture that values initiative.

What You’ll Do

• Execute trades across fixed income and related securities.
• Partner with Portfolio Managers and the Head Fixed Income Trader to identify attractive bond opportunities within targeted credit parameters.
• Assist with the management and implementation of customized fixed income portfolios.
• Develop relationships with broker-dealers and sell-side trading desks.
• Monitor market activity, significant holdings, and sector developments affecting portfolio positioning.
• Provide timely market color, trading commentary, and investment insights.
• Reconcile trade blotters and ensure accurate trade reporting.
• Support portfolio management and trading systems, including customized rules and workflows.
• Collaborate with Compliance to ensure adherence to FINRA and MSRB regulations.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or a related field.
• 1–2 years of fixed income trading experience.
• Municipal bond experience strongly preferred.
• Active Series 7 and 66 (or 63 and 65) licenses are required.
• Series 52 and/or 57 are a plus.
• Experience with multiple fixed-income trading platforms.
• Strong analytical, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• Intellectual curiosity, exceptional attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset.

If you’re an early-career fixed-income professional seeking greater exposure, stronger mentorship, and the chance to build a long-term career at a highly respected investment firm, I’d welcome the chance to tell you more. Apply today or reach out for a confidential conversation.
