n
Some familiarity with equities, derivatives or prime brokerage is helpful, but we will teach the strategy specifics to the right person

n
Transparent communication, and the confidence to ask questions in a small team
n
Broad exposure across fund vehicles, well beyond a single reporting line
n
Direct mentoring from an experienced finance team, with room to grow
n
n
Sydney office hybrid (Tuesday to Friday in the office, Monday home or in the office)
