What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Trading Assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Trading Assistant, you need strong analytical abilities, attention to detail, and a background in finance, mathematics, or economics, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with trading platforms, market data systems (like Bloomberg or Reuters), and proficiency in Excel or programming languages such as Python is highly valued. Exceptional communication skills, adaptability, and the ability to work well under pressure help individuals excel in this fast-paced role. These skills and qualities are crucial for supporting traders effectively, ensuring accurate trade execution, and minimizing operational risks in dynamic financial markets.

What Does a Trading Assistant Do?

A trading assistant is similar to an apprentice. Their primary duties include working closely with a certified trader to learn how to sell financial products on behalf of their clients, manage risks, and provide general assistance to the trader. Trading assistants also run errands for traders, such as getting lunch or coffee. Typically, a trading assistant works for a period of up to two years with a trader to amass the knowledge and skills necessary to become a full-time trader. Once they are ready to become a full-time trader, they need to take the Series 7 and Series 63 exams to become licensed.

What are Trading Assistants?

Trading Assistants are professionals who support traders in financial firms by handling administrative tasks, monitoring market data, executing trades as directed, and ensuring that transactions are properly recorded. They often serve as the link between traders, clients, and back-office teams to facilitate smooth trading operations. Their work is crucial for maintaining efficient workflow, managing risk, and ensuring regulatory compliance in fast-paced trading environments.

What are some common challenges Trading Assistants face when supporting traders, and how can these be managed effectively?

Trading Assistants often need to manage high-pressure situations, such as rapidly changing market conditions and urgent requests from traders. Balancing multiple tasks—like trade booking, reconciliations, and data entry—requires excellent organizational skills and attention to detail. Effective communication with traders, compliance teams, and operations is key to preventing errors and ensuring smooth trade execution. Proactively learning trading systems and keeping up-to-date with market protocols can help Trading Assistants navigate challenges more efficiently.

Job description

Trading Assistant

At Underdog, we make sports more fun. Our thesis is simple: build the best products and we'll build the biggest company in the space, because there's so much more to be built for sports fans. We're just over five years in, and we're one of the fastest-growing sports companies ever, most recently valued at $1.3B. And it's still the early days.

We've built and scaled multiple games and products across fantasy sports, sports betting, and prediction markets, all united in one seamless, simple, easy to use, intuitive and fun app.

Underdog isn't for everyone. One of our core values is give a sh*t. The people who win here are the ones who care, push, and perform. If that's you, come join us.

Winning as an Underdog is more fun.

As a Trading Assistant, you'll be responsible for grading our Pick'em and Sportsbook projections, and settling games in a timely manner. Additionally, you'll support the Trading team by working on trading shifts, where you will manage posting and pricing of markets. This is a full-time hourly position; candidates must be able to work nights and weekends.

About the Role and Why It's Unique:
  • Enter player and game stats
  • Track games we offer in the app to ensure entries are paid with correct stats as markets are determined in real time
  • Work within operations for football, esports, tennis, golf, soccer, baseball, basketball, and more
  • Take on more responsibilities as you grow into the role
Who You Are:
  • A sports fanatic (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, EPL, Golf, UFC, Nascar, F1, eSports & more) who is knowledgeable about DFS and Fantasy sports props
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Committed to being a true team player
  • Ability to work nights and weekends around the sports calendar
  • Interest in sports betting
Even Better If You Have:
  • Prior gaming/sports betting experience
  • Prior experience with statistics, score keeping, or other detail oriented tasks
  • Prior startup experience

Our target starting base salary range for this position is $20/hr, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate's skills and experience, among other things.

What we can offer you:

  • Flexible PTO (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before & into the NFL season)
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • A $500 home office allowance
  • A connected virtual first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce
  • 5% 401k match, FSA, company paid health, dental, vision plan options for employees and dependents

We're a remote-first company and value in-person connection. That said, we expect everyone to gather 2-3 times per year for team and company offsites, trainings, and more.

This position may require sports betting licensure based on certain state regulations.

Underdog is an equal opportunity employer and doesn't discriminate on the basis of creed, race, sexual orientation, gender, age, disability status, or any other defining characteristic.
