Institutional Sales Dealer

Role Summary

We are looking for a sharp and dependable Institutional Sales Dealer to anchor execution for both institutional and HNI clients across equities and derivatives on NSE/BSE. This is a frontline execution role in a lean team, where the individual will take full ownership of order handling, execution, and post-trade processes. The dealer will also support the institutional sales team with market intelligence and structured trade execution ideas, while working closely with compliance, risk, and operations teams to ensure seamless, SEBI-compliant workflows.

This is a non-proprietary role, with a pure focus on client order execution and service delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-cycle Order Execution

Handle incoming trade instructions from institutional and HNI clients via recorded lines or electronic channels. Execute trades in equities, futures, and options on NSE/BSE using ODIN, NOW, NEAT, or in-house algo tools with speed, precision, and zero slippage.

• Real-Time Client Engagement

Provide live market commentary, execution status, and fill updates to clients during trading hours. Serve as the first point of contact for all client execution needs.

• Algo Trading & Smart Execution

Leverage in-house execution algorithms, DMA tools, or benchmark-based strategies like VWAP/TWAP when required. Optimize order routing and minimize market impact for large-volume or structured trades.

• Audit & Compliance Discipline

Maintain accurate audit trails, trade logs, and voice/electronic records in compliance with SEBI regulations. Coordinate closely with the risk, compliance, and back-office teams for settlement, margin checks, and regulatory requirements.

• Support Sales Team

Assist the institutional sales team by executing structured strategies (straddles, spreads, hedges), generating timely trade ideas, and aligning market flows to client portfolios.

• Post-Market Engagement

Occasionally attend post-market meetings or calls with buy-side fund managers or HNIs to discuss trade performance, market trends, and execution quality.

• Trade Reporting & Analytics

Share TCA (Transaction Cost Analysis), slippage reports, and daily execution summaries as required by clients or internal teams.
