We are looking for an experienced Macro Analyst to help our global trading and research teams delve deeper into the macroeconomic and geopolitical drivers of assets. The ideal candidate is someone who can rapidly spin up on new regions or topics of interest, develop well-reasoned views, and generalize those ideas to broader questions, not just someone with existing expertise in a particular geography. Our day-to-day work is diverse, and your focus on global macro topics will help us expand our trading opportunities.
Responsibilities of this role will include but are not limited to:
- Engaging in detailed, technical discussions with traders and researchers by providing macro updates and quantitative analyses, presenting your logic and reasoning grounded in data, numbers, probabilities, and statistical insights, and addressing any follow-up questions with clarity and precision
- Interacting with sell-side sales and research contacts globally, aggregating broker notes, and developing and summarizing opinions (having your own contacts is a plus)
- Running longer-term deep dives into geographies of interest or particular macro topics, ranging from correctly framing the questions and gathering the data (both by talking to external people and looking up historical data), to analyzing the findings and coming up with well-reasoned conclusions and recommendations (both quantitative and qualitative)
- Have 3+ years of experience covering macro within trading, financial services, or governmental institutions
- Stay current with global macro or the macro of a few geographies, familiar with relevant published research and comfortable pushing into less explored areas
- Have a strong quantitative background and a command of probability
- Familiarity working with macroeconomic data series and possession of technical skills (e.g. Python) to perform some independent data analysis
- Ability to work nimbly and combine datasets, statistical models, and broader economic understanding to tackle big questions
If you're a recruiting agency and want to partner with us, please reach out to [email protected].
Skills Required
- 3+ years of experience covering macro

Jane Street Insights
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.
