What is Delta One trading?

Delta One trading refers to trading financial instruments whose price movements closely track, or have a 'delta' of one relative to, the underlying asset. These instruments typically include equity swaps, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), futures, and some types of structured products. Delta One desks in investment banks manage portfolios of these products, aiming to profit from small price differences, arbitrage opportunities, and by providing liquidity to clients. The strategies are generally considered low-risk in terms of directional market exposure, but they require sophisticated quantitative analysis and risk management.

Job description

About G20 Group 

G-20 Group is a leading cross-asset trading firm active in delta-one and derivatives markets. Established in 2010, G-20 offers liquidity solutions, treasury management, and institutional advisory services. We are supported by an outstanding team of professionals, with a robust global presence in EMEA, Americas, and APAC.

Role Overview 

We are hiring a mid-level Portfolio Manager / Trader to own and operate market-neutral crypto strategies - primarily funding arbitrage, basis trades, calendar spreads, and cross-venue relative value - across centralized and decentralized venues. You will be responsible for day-to-day portfolio construction, execution, and drawdown control, working under a defined risk framework and supporting institutional SMA and fund mandates. This is a hands-on PM and trading role with clear ownership and room to grow.

Key Responsibilities 

  • Run and manage market-neutral funding and basis books across CEX and DEX venues, primarily in majors and liquid alts.
  • Own position sizing, hedging, leverage, and exposure management, maintaining strict market neutrality and drawdown discipline.
  • Actively monitor funding regimes, futures curves, borrow costs, liquidity, and cross-venue dislocations; scale, rotate, or shut down risk as conditions change.
  • Partner closely with risk, operations, and engineering to improve OMS/EMS workflows, automation, alerts, and real-time risk monitoring.
  • Maintain an institutional-grade process: pre-trade controls, post-trade analysis, reconciliations, documentation, and audit readiness.
  • Contribute to the evolution of G20's market-neutral platform, including strategy refinement and new opportunity assessment.

Requirements

  • Degree in Quantitative Finance, Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related quantitative discipline; top-tier university preferred.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in crypto derivatives, market-neutral, or relative-value trading.
  • Demonstrated experience running funding-rate and/or basis strategies with real capital and disciplined risk management.
  • Strong understanding of perpetual mechanics, futures term structure, liquidation dynamics, and margin optimization.
  • Comfortable working with execution systems and data; able to collaborate effectively with quants and engineers.
  • Experience with institutional custody and collateral frameworks (e.g. Fireblocks, Copper, Anchorage, or equivalent).
  • Calm under volatility, process-driven, and comfortable operating within defined risk limits.
  • Clear communicator with the ability to explain strategy, risk, and performance to internal stakeholders.

Preferred / Desirable Experience 

  • Experience in stat arb, volatility arbitrage, trend-following overlays, or multi-strategy market-neutral pods.
  • Prior exposure to regulated, audited, or institutional client environments.
  • Familiarity with both CeFi and DeFi market structure.

Location and Right to Work: This role will be based in New York, Zurich or London. Only candidates who reside in and possess the pre-existing right to work in the US, Switzerland or the UK without needing company sponsorship need apply. Trading access and setup will align with regulatory, exchange, and operational constraints.

Join G-20 and be a part of a team that is at the forefront of financial markets, driving innovation and excellence in the sector.
