Responsibilities

Operations is a collaborative, integrated group working in a fast-paced environment. As a member of the team, you’ll play a key part in an area focused on trade settlements, trade record and position management, or cost and cash management. You’ll work closely with external service providers and trading partners as well as colleagues in your local office and around the world. Together, you’ll resolve issues that arise from our complex trading flows and ensure our processes are running smoothly.
If you’ve never considered a career in finance, you’re in good company as many of us had our introduction to finance at Jane Street. We are more interested in how you think and how you learn. You will engage with a wide range of financial products including equities, bonds, ETFs, futures and swaps, even if you have no prior knowledge or experience. We are looking for someone bright and eager to learn starting from Day One.

Mission & Purpose

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.
