• Advise PMs on swap market dynamics, including swap spreads, basis, fixings (SOFR, SORA, TONA and other RFRs), liquidity windows and the impact of central bank events.
• Partner closely with PMs and analysts across multiple strategies.
• Contribute to alpha generation by sourcing liquidity, identifying dislocations and flow-driven opportunities, and sharing actionable trade ideas.
• Provide timely market colour, positioning insights and event-driven analysis across APAC and global markets.
• Lead execution in both high-touch and low-touch environments, including voice, RFQ/electronic platforms and algorithmic trading.
• Build and maintain senior relationships with sell-side brokers, banks, dealers and liquidity providers; oversee broker selection and evaluation.
• Own post-trade analysis and TCA, using the results to improve execution quality, broker allocation and algo selection.

• Proven track record trading both Fixed Income and Equities, with depth in at least one and strong working knowledge of the other.
• Experience supporting multiple PMs or investment teams concurrently in a multi-strategy setting.
• Strong understanding of APAC market structure, including local exchange rules, settlement conventions and liquidity profiles.
• Demonstrated ability to add value beyond execution: generating ideas, reading flow and contributing to PM decision-making.
• Established network across sell-side dealers, brokers and liquidity providers in both rates/credit and equities.
• Hands-on experience with execution and order management systems (EMS/OMS) such as FlexTrade, Bloomberg EMSX, TradeWeb, MarketAxess or similar.
