Here’s a job description for Lead Trader and Research Assistant:
——————————–
The trader/research assistant position focuses on… trading funds in our client accounts and researching for our investment committee as directed by our CIO. We are specifically looking for a tech savvy candidate who has extreme focus and attention to detail but is ready and able to work under pressure. It is also essential that this person can work independently, meaning they can be trusted to focus on work during work hours (putting the cell phone aside) without having to be supervised. As a company we strongly believe the best team members do not need to be managed, they simply need to be supported.
