Descrição

• FX execution across EM corridors — sourcing and executing spot, forward, and swap transactions across African and other EM currency pairs, including XAF, XOF, NGN, and adjacent corridors; maintaining a live read on where fair value sits across the LP set • LP relationship management — holding live conversations across the liquidity provider set from 7am UK time; maintaining the relationships through which prices and flow can be sourced under pressure; treating the network as Kappa’s institutional asset • Market intelligence and desk analytics — turning corridor data, customer flow, and LP behaviour into actionable desk intelligence; building and maintaining analytical tools to track spreads, regime changes, and counterparty positioning • Regulatory and capital control navigation — understanding what capital controls, central bank interventions, and jurisdiction-specific settlement requirements mean in practice; staying ahead of regulatory signals in the corridors you cover • Risk and counterparty management — thinking about exposure at the desk level, not just the trade level; assessing counterparties on financial health, regulatory standing, and behaviour under stress; surfacing concerns before they become problems • Post trade — owning reconciliation, and post-trade hygiene, not as a back-office task; escalating unusual signal early with calibrated judgement

🎯 Requisitos

• Demonstrable EM or frontier FX experience — two to five years working African or other EM corridors in a markets role; the market quirks, capital controls, and counterparty dynamics must be the substance of prior work • Multi-asset fluency — working knowledge of FX spot, forwards, swaps, and options; working knowledge of bond pricing and money-market instruments in EM markets; able to reason from first principles about instruments you haven’t personally traded • Quantitative capability — comfortable with statistics and time-series analysis applied to live trading work; able to munge data in Python, R, or VBA to build a chart, run a back-test, or calculate a metric without it being a project • Corridor-level market knowledge — treats XAF, XOF, NGN, and other EM currencies as distinct markets, not flavours of the same; understands the EUR peg mechanics for CFA currencies, the CBN-managed float for NGN, and the regulatory regimes that govern each • Risk instinct — thinks about exposure at the desk level; understands settlement-window credit risk, counterparty concentration, and the risk surface that comes with own-account trading • Relational approach to the desk — treats LP and counterparty relationships as essential for the firm’s commercial reach; documents and shares the network rather than hoarding it • Operational discipline — on the desk when the market opens; owns reconciliation and post-trade hygiene without being asked; escalates with signal, not noise • Integrity under pressure — can hold honesty and stakeholder management in tension when a position is under duress

🏖️ Benefícios

• A genuinely differentiated trading seat — EM and frontier FX is not a niche on top of a real job; it is the job; the corridors you cover are where the firm’s commercial edge lives • Equity participation — the role carries an equity allocation; we expect the postholder to take a long-term view of their contribution to the business • Access to experienced practitioners — a lean desk with direct exposure to senior team members and advisers who have built and run trading operations in the markets that matter for this role • Purpose-driven work — Kappa operates in a market where improved financial infrastructure has a measurable and material impact on the businesses and communities we serve • An opportunity to build something that matters.
