About this role

The dealer trades individual stocks listed on the Japanese market, index futures and options. Using the securities firm's own capital, the role builds strategic positions within appropriate risk limits and seeks to generate returns through proprietary trading.

Required experience includes a record of consistently generating excess returns as a dealer in a sell-side proprietary trading division for Japanese equities, or as a fund manager or portfolio manager on the buy side. Applicants who have worked as part of such a team and gained practical experience are also considered.

Experience with multiple shock events and the resulting risk-response capabilities is welcomed. The posting also welcomes experience at a hedge fund, working under a portfolio manager, managing assets outside Japanese equities such as foreign equities, bonds, foreign exchange or commodities, and working as a market maker. IT skills in C++, VB.NET, Python, SAS or VBA are also welcomed.

The role requires native-level Japanese. Everyday conversational English is welcomed. A first-class Securities Sales Representative qualification is required, although it may be obtained after joining.

The position is a permanent employee role in Chiyoda, Tokyo. Working hours are 8:40 to 17:10, with a one-hour break. Holidays include a two-day weekend, public holidays and the year-end and New Year period. Paid leave is 17 to 23 days, prorated for mid-year hires, with hourly paid leave, nursing leave and parental leave systems. Smoking is prohibited during working hours. The company may request reference checks during selection.
