EXANTE is a global prime broker and fintech firm founded in 2011 that provides direct access to over 2 million financial instruments across 50+ markets through a proprietary, customizable trading platform (desktop, web, mobile) with API and white-label options. It serves institutional and professional clients — banks, brokerages, asset managers, family offices, and professional traders — offering trade execution, custody arrangements, regulatory coverage, and dedicated relationship and post-trade support.

📋 Description

• Build, run and develop EXANTE’s principal trading book across asset classes. • Provide liquidity against client flow, manage the resulting inventory and hedge residual exposure to generate P&L within the firm’s regulatory, best-execution and conflict-of-interest framework, with full P&L responsibility for the principal trading book. • Market making, flow trading, relative-value and other legitimate strategies within Board-approved risk limits. • Identify, negotiate and onboard exchanges, prime brokers and OTC counterparties needed for hedging and inventory management. • Design, implement and operate the risk limits, monitoring and escalation framework for the book. • Coordinate securities inventory, financing and revenue with the existing Stock Lending team. • Work with the Options Trading and Fixed Income & Structured Products desks to ensure complementary principal books and shared risk visibility. • Cooperate with Operations, Treasury and Technology on workflow, financing, settlement and platform tooling. • Manage conflicts of interest, best-execution arrangements and product-governance compliance across relevant booking entities.

🎯 Requirements

• 10–20 years’ experience in principal trading, flow trading, market making or running a multi-asset trading book at a sell-side firm, broker-dealer, prime broker or proprietary trading house, with documented P&L through different market regimes. • Multi-asset risk management — strong background across delta, gamma, vega, correlation, liquidity and counterparty risk. • Regulatory expertise — hands-on familiarity with the MiFID II Systematic Internaliser regime, best-execution obligations and conflict-of-interest management in a regulated broker-dealer environment is essential. • Securities financing — familiarity with securities financing and stock lending operations is a strong plus. • Cooperative profile — non-negotiable; the role only succeeds by working closely with the existing Stock Lending team and the new trading desks, and a track record of operating effectively across desks and functions is expected. • Fluent English — mandatory. • Commercial and disciplined — technical, comfortable with full accountability for a P&L.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary that reflects your experience and the value you bring. • Flexibility that fits your life — work from home, from our office, or a mix of both. You decide what works best. • Flexible benefits package — choose the options that suit your life, not a one-size-fits-all bundle. • A genuinely good place to work — an informal, collaborative culture where ideas are heard and bureaucracy stays out of your way. • Continuous learning — ongoing training, education programs, and the support to deepen your expertise in a fast-moving industry. • Connection beyond your desk — events that bring our teams together to network and celebrate. • Global exposure — work side by side with talented colleagues from all over the world, across a business serving clients in 100+ countries.
