Graduate Cross-Asset Execution Trader

Who We Are

Swissblock is a private investment firm with a bold vision to become a pioneering force in both traditional finance and digital assets. As a young, dynamic company, we combine systematic, algorithmic trading with deep market analysis to capitalise on opportunities across global financial and digital asset markets. Our team is driven by innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to setting new standards in the industry.

About the Role

Do you have a passion for financial markets and a drive to turn data into insight? As a Graduate Cross-Asset Execution Trader at Swissblock, you will enter the dynamic world of global trading, collaborating with a team of enthusiastic professionals who are committed to your growth. You will be mentored by and report directly to the Head of Trading, a seasoned industry expert with decades of experience, ensuring you receive outstanding guidance and support as you launch your career.

This is far from a typical entry-level role: From your very first day, you will be fully immersed in the excitement of live markets and gain exposure to a broad range of asset classes, including FX, equities, bonds, OTC derivatives, and digital assets. You will also have the unique opportunity to learn directly from the Head of Global Macro, a Quant Portfolio Manager with an outstanding track record, equipping you with practical skills that will set you apart in the world of quantitative finance.

At Swissblock, your growth is our priority. You will be encouraged to ask questions, challenge conventions, and contribute fresh ideas to our trading strategies. Whether analysing market moves, exploring new technologies, or collaborating with colleagues across different teams, you will be empowered to make a real impact. Our supportive, flat-hierarchy culture means your voice will be heard and your curiosity rewarded. If you are ready to launch your career in a fast-moving, innovative environment where every day brings new challenges and opportunities, Swissblock is the place for you.
