the client is seeking a Head of US OTC Trading to lead and expand its institutional and OTC flow business in North America. This role sits at the intersection of trading, liquidity strategy, and institutional coverage, with responsibility for broadening market presence with exchanges, trading firms, brokerages, and high-volume counterparties. The position is suited to an experienced trading leader who can build a high-impact desk within a market-making environment and operate with meaningful autonomy.
Key responsibilities include building and leading the US trading function across spot, derivatives, and options flow; pricing and executing institutional block trades, structured trades, and cross-product strategies; and deepening relationships with institutional counterparties such as brokers, funds, OTC entities, and liquidity takers. The head of trading will collaborate with quant, tech, and product teams to optimize pricing engines, workflow, and automation; expand institutional client onboarding across North America; enhance options flow capabilities including pricing, hedging, and volatility understanding; contribute to market-structure strategy as the US presence scales; and recruit and mentor traders as the desk grows in volume and product coverage.
Qualifications include 7–15+ years of experience in OTC trading, crypto markets, FX, or electronic derivatives, along with direct experience trading spot and OTC options. The ideal candidate has strong knowledge of short-dated options, greeks, hedging strategies, and volatility markets, and experience in a top-tier digital trading firm, market maker, prime broker, or OTC desk. Strong counterparty relationships across funds, prop shops, and brokerages, comfort working in a rapidly scaling organization, and the ability to work remotely anywhere in North America are expected.
