High Yield Credit Trader

We are presently advising a leading global institution on the continued expansion of their leading fixed income and credit trading effort in London in 2025. This opportunity will see the chosen individual join the high yield trading team, focusing on trading leveraged credit across cash and CDS. The chosen candidate will therefore be responsible for:

• Market-making and risk-management of high yield credit (EUR, but also trading GBP and USD)
• Liaising comprehensively across internal research and sales teams as well as the further trading team on a global basis
• Presenting trade ideas to institutional clients and hedge funds
• Supporting trading books of senior colleagues - including loans, distressed, etc.

Our client would ideally seek an individual who is presently sat within a high yield credit trading seat at the Senior Analyst though to Senior Associate or VP-level. However, candidates experience trading other complementary areas of credit would also be of interest, including those in execution trading or junior portfolio management roles on the buy side, or those trading CDS, IG, macro credit, etc. on the sell side.
