Junior Operations & Programme Analyst Full Time

Job Title: Junior Operations & Programme Analyst (School Leaver/Graduate)

Location: [West Hampsted, London, UK]

Entry Requirements: Minimum 3 A-Levels (Grade A*–B preferred)

The Opportunity

Are you a high-achieving school leaver or recent graduate looking to dive straight into the heart of the financial markets?

Whilst this is a back-office role, you will be sitting in close proximity to our Trade Desks, Finance, and Senior Management. This provides a rare, direct exposure to the people leading the business.

The Role

You will provide vital operational support to our leadership teams. Your day-to-day will involve:

• Trade Support: Assisting with the post-trade reconciliation and reporting of daily trades and pnl.
• Operational Excellence: Ensuring all systems are updated and supporting senior management with ad-hoc reporting and business-critical tasks.
• Static Data Management: Setup and maintenance of new and existing instruments, managing exchange calendars, and ensuring all reference data is accurate and up to date

Who You Are

• Academic High-Flier: You have strong A-Level results. We value subjects like Maths, Economics, or Business, but we care most about your logic and numeracy.
• Willingness to Learn: You don’t need to be an expert yet, but you must have a genuine desire to develop your knowledge base and think “outside the box”.
• High Attention to Detail: In a post-trade environment, accuracy is everything. You take pride in ensuring the small details are correct.
• Confident Communicator: You will be interacting with senior leaders and the trade desk daily. You need to be professional, resilient, and ready to learn at pace.

Why Join Us?

• Unrivalled Exposure: Unlike many junior roles, you won’t be siloed. You’ll see the full workings of a growing trading basis.
• Direct Mentorship: Work alongside industry veterans who are invested in your professional development.
• Professional Growth: We will support your journey in learning skills that are in high demand across the financial sector.
