We’re looking for an experienced strategist to join our Institutional Sales and Trading team. You will be responsible for helping the firm develop content and insightful commentary on ETF market trends, analyzing volume and flow trends as it relates to macro developments, and developing views on important ETF ecosystem issues for internal and external purposes.
The content you develop will represent the latest thinking on ETF trading and product structure from minds around the firm. You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders to develop technically strong, intentional, and impactful materials that will be distributed to clients and other external partners. In addition to developing market insights, a key part of this role involves providing hands-on support to our salespeople and sales traders by assisting with the preparation of materials and handling client requests.
At Jane Street, we consider our nimble approach to problem-solving and our overly collaborative nature to be some of our greatest strengths—we always look for the best, not quickest, solution to the challenge in front of us. This idea extends to our approach to content development; we’re looking for someone humble and articulate who can communicate effectively and help synthesize complex ideas.
To thrive in this role, you’ll need to be an enthusiastic team player who enjoys engaging in collaborative discussions, generating creative solutions, and sharing your prior knowledge and experience with others to make our work stronger.
About You- Have 5+ years of relevant experience in financial services, preferably within a bank, brokerage, or ETF issuer
- Experienced in writing compelling content on policy, trading, or market structure topics for ETFs
- Eager to build relationships across the firm; comfortable asking questions and gathering feedback from a variety of stakeholders
- Able to synthesize complex topics and formulate ideas into compelling and engaging written content and presentations quickly
- Comfortable supporting other client-facing Jane Streeters by preparing client decks, helping with panel prep, and responding to one-off content or data requests from both clients and internal teams
- Can prioritize tasks effectively and manage projects from ideas to execution
- Humble about what you know and don’t know; not afraid to ask questions and admit mistakes
- Can think outside the box and respectfully challenge existing methods (i.e., Are we taking the right approach? Are we using the right tools?)
- Strategic thinker with an entrepreneurial spirit

What We Do
Jane Street works differently. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we trade on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries and help form the backbone of global markets. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysis, but our success is driven by our people.
Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar.
Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles.
We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day.
People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
