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.
About You- Have 1-3 years of relevant professional experience within treasury, operations, risk, or finance
- Proactive, organized, reliable, and conscientious, with keen attention to detail
- A team player with strong oral and written communication skills
- Able to learn quickly, follow policies and procedures, and exercise judgment and problem-solving to work independently
- Interested in working in a role focused on operational, day-to-day processes and real-time monitoring
- Comfortable building strong relationships with external partners
- Familiar with Excel and some basic programming (in any language), and willing to learn Python and SQL
- Numerate and comfortable using math to triage issues and make decisions
- Curious and eager to ask questions, admit mistakes, learn new things, and continuously improve
- Note: You will be required to take registration exams to obtain a series license after starting the job (having one is not a prerequisite for applying)

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.
