Overview Group Head / Role Title: Global Markets Trader Location: Sandton, Johannesburg, South AfricaType: Permanent Intro Hook Drive liquidity, price risk, and execute with discipline.Bring sharp market judgment to a high-impact trading seat. About the Role You’ll manage day-to-day liquidity, money market operations, and trading across FX, rates, and bonds. Working closely with Treasury and Risk, you’ll price products responsibly, execute orders precisely, and ensure the branch maintains strong liquidity and regulatory compliance. This is a hands-on role in a lean team: you’ll analyse market conditions, make informed trading decisions, and produce clear insights for leadership. You’ll also support the rollout of new systems while safeguarding robust controls and reporting. Who the Client Is This opportunity is with a well-capitalised international banking group with a growing presence in Southern Africa. The organisation operates a prudent balance sheet, offers cross-border solutions to corporate clients, and is known for disciplined treasury management and a collaborative culture. What You’ll Do Monitor daily liquidity ratios and the funding position; execute money market operations to maintain adequate buffers. Trade and invest across FX, interest rate products, and fixed-income instruments using appropriate hedging strategies. Price FX, rates, and related products for internal stakeholders and clients with accuracy and speed. Co-manage market and liquidity risk in line with ALCO mandates and risk appetite. Produce timely market commentary and analysis for department heads and branch leadership. Ensure adherence to regulatory requirements; assist with regulator interactions and reporting. Support implementation and optimisation of new banking/trading systems. Contribute to a culture of control: documentation, limits monitoring, and post-trade checks. What You Bring Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Banking, Economics, or related field. ~3 years’ trading experience (FX, money markets, rates, or bonds) within a banking environment. Solid grasp of liquidity management, pricing, and P&L/risk concepts (VaR, sensitivities, limits). Competence with trading platforms and MS Office; comfort with data and spreadsheets. Clear written and verbal communication; able to explain trading rationale and risks. Advantageous: multilingual capability (e.g., Mandarin) for regional coordination; not a requirement. What Success Looks Like Liquidity metrics consistently within policy and regulatory thresholds. Accurate, timely pricing and execution with minimal errors or breaches. Transparent P&L attribution, strong controls, and clean audit/regulatory outcomes. Insightful market analysis that informs ALCO and commercial decisions. Smooth adoption of new systems with stable, well-documented processes. Why this role? You’ll get meaningful ownership, exposure to regional flow, and the opportunity to shape a disciplined trading desk. Expect pace, accountability, and the reality of market volatility, tight deadlines, and high scrutiny—balanced by clear impact, learning, and career stretch. #hiring #edge #kestria #J-18808-Ljbffr
