Interest Rate Option Trader – Graduate / Early Career

Interest rate markets move constantly, and the people who understand them shape how risk is managed for clients across the region. Joining our Derivatives Trading team you will be working directly with experienced traders and building practical expertise in interest-rate options from day one.

What you will be doing

You will be part of a close-knit trading team where analysis, precision, and curiosity matter every day. Working within Derivatives Trading, you will support the pricing and execution of interest rate option transactions, monitor market developments, and collaborate with colleagues across sales, quant, risk, and operations.

More specifically, you will:

· Support pricing and execution of interest rate option transactions under experienced traders

· Monitor interest rate markets, volatility, and economic developments with the team

· Analyse portfolio exposures and help manage risk within agreed limits

· Build and improve tools for pricing and risk monitoring using Python or similar languages

· Collaborate with sales, quant, risk, and operations colleagues to support accurate trade processing

About you

You are a recent graduate or have up to two years of relevant experience in trading, quantitative analysis, asset management or a related field. Previous trading experience is not required. We are interested in your analytical ability, curiosity and willingness to learn.

· Degree in economics with a technical focus, alternatively in mathematics, physics, engineering, or a related quantitative field

· Strong numerical and analytical skills with a structured approach to problem solving

· Genuine interest in fixed income markets and a desire to build a career in trading

· Programming ability in Python or a comparable language, applied to practical problems

· Fluency in English and a Scandinavian language

· Sound judgement, attention to detail, and willingness to ask questions and raise concerns

Familiarity with derivatives, probability, statistics, or numerical methods is an advantage, though no prior trading experience is required. Academic projects, relevant coursework, or internships are all useful ways to demonstrate your analytical interest.

What we offer you

This role offers structured learning through direct collaboration with experienced traders, with responsibility growing as your knowledge deepens. This is a full-time, in-office role with daily access to colleagues who are invested in your progress and development.
