About
Hi, I’m Bohdan:)
I’m setting up a new multi-asset trading desk and I’m looking for a Trading Operations Analyst to help with analytical and operational tasks around trading data. This role is research/support-focused: you will work with datasets, reports, and post-trade analytics to help decisions be made faster and with higher confidence.
What you’ll do
- Perform post-trade analysis and prepare concise reports (tables + charts)
- Break down performance by
- instruments/tickers
- time windows
- trade reasons/tags (if provided)
- holding time / entry quality buckets (if applicable)
- Detect anomalies and data-quality issues (missing fields, outliers, inconsistent logs)
- Produce clear visualisations and summaries that can be used in decision-making
- Communicate findings clearly and defend conclusions when challenged
Requirements
- Strong statistical analysis skills (practical, not academic)
- Strong Python for data analysis (pandas / numpy; polars is a plus)
- Strong data visualisation skills (matplotlib / plotly; ability to present insights)
- Ability to state conclusions under pressure (clear, direct, defendable)
- High attention to detail and strong ownership of output quality
- Ukrainian PE (FOP) or equivalent legal ability to provide services (B2B)
- Must have full legal right to provide services — no visa sponsorship
Note: Strong analytical thinking and clarity of reasoning are valued more than years of formal work experience.
Nice to have
- Prior experience with trading / market data
- Familiarity with performance metrics (PnL attribution, drawdown, slippage concepts)
- Availability for regular Warsaw/London meetups
Compensation
I’m open to negotiating pay depending on task difficulty:
- hourly rate, or
- fixed price per deliverable
Selection process
- Intro call (fit + expectations + availability) + Light analytical task (quick, practical)
- Post-trade analysis test (more realistic, based on sample data)
Disclaimer
- Contract / freelance only
- No visa sponsorship
- Long-term collaboration possible if the fit is strong
