About the Position

We are looking for a skilled analyst to join an expanding subgroup within our Finance team who can help us manage and improve many of our daily activities and processes. We don’t require any finance background or other particular experience—we care more about your curiosity, enthusiasm, and how you think and learn.

Members of our Financial Resource Management subgroup, like the rest of Jane Street, are problem solvers. Much of what we do is constrained optimization. Together, we decide how to efficiently allocate the firm’s capital, minimize costs, shuffle positions, and diversify funding sources. We also try to improve, streamline, and automate these solutions.

In this role, you’ll work closely with colleagues on the Financial Resource Management and Portfolio Finance subgroups, with other teams throughout the firm, and with external counterparties to help handle a range of tasks, including:

  • Running existing processes, both manual and automated, to optimize positions and manage FX balances daily
  • Monitoring activities and systems, and triaging any alerts
  • Reconciling daily margin requirements with internal models
  • Improving and automating existing processes to address new financing inefficiencies and automate manual parts of workflows
  • Executing various funding trades

There is also ample room for growth in this position. As you gain experience in day-to-day operations, you'll independently make high-value, time-sensitive decisions, take increased responsibility for key processes, and design and implement long-term improvements. You’ll begin to think through how we approach exceptional cases and big market events.
