Senior Equity Analyst - Trading Desk
We are seeking a Senior Equity Analyst to join a high-performance trading desk at a globally recognized, multi-asset market-making firm. This is a high-impact role for an analyst ready to go beyond traditional research and operate at the intersection of fundamental analysis and live trading.
About the role:
This position sits directly on the trading desk, with visibility into real-time decisions and direct P&L responsibility. You will own sector coverage, generate short-horizon, catalyst-driven insights, and partner closely with traders to optimize positions across both equity and volatility.

What you'll do:
• Identify and evaluate trading opportunities using fundamental, event-driven, and short-term catalyst analysis
• Partner with traders to optimize analyst and market-making book positions
• Perform scenario and sensitivity analyses around corporate events and macro developments
• Translate research insights into strategies across equities and options
• Contribute to process improvements and knowledge sharing across the analyst team
• Mentor junior analysts and help grow the equity research function
What we're looking for:
• 5 years of experience as an equity analyst within a market-making firm, proprietary trading environment, or event-driven / trading-oriented hedge fund
• Demonstrated ability to own sector coverage and generate differentiated, actionable insights
• Strong understanding of how fundamentals drive short-term price action and volatility
• Comfortable applying your analytical framework across new sectors and situations
• Options-aware thinking and experience working in fast-paced, collaborative environments
What you'll receive:
• Highly competitive base salary and performance-based bonus
• Global profit-sharing pool
• 401(k) match
• Comprehensive benefits
• Generous vacation days plus market holidays
• Daily meals, office perks, social events, and more
• The opportunity to work alongside professionals globally
