Job Description:
This is an opportunity to join Russell Investments' global trading team in Seattle as an Associate Trader, Derivatives and Equity, with primary responsibility for supporting trading during Asia-Pacific (APAC) market hours. You will be part of a global team responsible for trading and implementing investment strategies across Russell Investments' funds, trading clients, transition management clients, and other third-party client portfolios.

A successful candidate will bring exceptional attention to detail, intellectual curiosity, strong analytical skills, and a desire to develop a deep understanding of financial markets and trading.

This position will primarily operate on an APAC trading schedule, approximately 3:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

Your Core Responsibilities:
  • Trade execution across a range of derivative instruments, including listed equity index, fixed income, and commodity futures, as well as listed and OTC options and swaps.

  • Work with senior traders to evaluate and implement appropriate execution strategies using market data, risk models, optimization tools, transaction-cost analytics, and other trading systems. Develop an understanding of liquidity, market impact, tracking error, and transaction costs across equities and derivatives.

  • Execute transactions in accordance with established trading procedures, controls, and Russell Investments' best execution guidelines. Develop an understanding of market structure, trading risks, and execution practices across multiple asset classes and markets.

  • Develop proficiency with order management systems, execution management systems, algorithmic trading tools, direct market access, and other market-facing execution technologies used across equity and derivatives trading.

  • Build knowledge of APAC market structure, trading conventions, and liquidity, while developing broader expertise across global equities and derivative instruments, taking on greater trading responsibilities as experience and proficiency develop.

  • Work closely with traders, portfolio managers, investment managers, operations, technology teams, and other internal and external stakeholders to support effective implementation of portfolio and client trading requirements.

  • Assist with regular reporting and analysis related to trading volumes, transaction costs, execution quality, market activity, and other trading and performance-related information.

Your Expertise
  • Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, business, mathematics, or a related discipline.

  • 1-3 years of relevant experience in trading, brokerage, investment management, portfolio management, trading operations, or a related financial markets role.

  • Foundational knowledge of financial markets and a strong interest in developing expertise across both equities and derivatives.

  • Experience or familiarity with equity markets, futures, options, swaps, or other derivative instruments is preferred.

  • Exposure to APAC or other international markets is a plus but is not required.

  • Experience with order management systems (OMS), execution management systems (EMS), direct market access (DMA), or algorithmic trading tools is a plus.

  • Strong analytical and quantitative skills with the ability to understand trading data, market information, and transaction-cost analysis.

  • High degree of focus, discipline, attention to detail, and sound judgment.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams, functions, and geographies.

  • Highly organized and able to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic, fast-paced, technology-driven trading environment.

  • Driven self-starter with intellectual curiosity and a desire to take on increasing responsibility as skills and experience develop.

  • Strong proficiency with Excel preferred; experience with Bloomberg is a plus.

  • CFA and/or CAIA designation, or progress toward a relevant professional designation, is a plus.

  • Expected to obtain applicable securities licenses, including the SIE and Series 7, 55, and 66, as required for the role.
