We are seeking an Equities Research Analyst to join our Equities Options Market Making team. This role will focus on identifying and analyzing events such as earnings, dividends, macro events, and capital structure changes that may have an impact on options pricing across US equity markets.

This position requires real-time analysis and communication in a fast-paced trading environment with 24-hour market coverage.

What You'll Do

  • Identify, analyze and communicate the impact of events, earnings, dividends, macro events and capital structure changes on options pricing and trading strategies in real-time
  • Conduct fundamental analysis on individual equities to identify mispricing opportunities relative to options market pricing, particularly around corporate actions, convertible bonds and earnings
  • Develop proprietary tools and models to systematically identify event-driven and capital structure opportunities across global markets
  • Build workflows for keeping track and communicating market-moving news and catalysts to traders

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience as an equity analyst, with focus on company and macro events, capital structure analysis, or options trading in a real-time environment
  • Deep understanding of corporate finance, options pricing theory, and how corporate actions affect options Greeks and volatility surfaces
  • Experience with event-driven strategies (merger arbitrage, spin-offs, dividend captures) and ability to quickly analyze earnings reports and SEC filings
  • Data-driven approach with quantitative modeling skills; experience with volatility trading and cross-asset arbitrage
