As a Junior Options Trading Analyst, you will be responsible for analyzing market trends, tracking implied volatility, and identifying high-probability setups across equities and index options. You should be comfortable working in fast-paced, high-intensity trading environments and have exposure to both directional and non-directional options strategies like credit spreads, iron condors, covered positions, and volatility crush plays. Your core competencies will include options strategy modeling (credit/debit spreads, straddles, strangles, covered strategies), volatility and Greek analysis (Delta/Gamma/Vega/Theta interpretation), pre- and post-earnings trade preparation, real-time trade execution, journaling discipline, market scanning, and sector rotation tracking. You should also be proficient in Excel/Python-based trade performance analytics. The ideal candidate for this role would have at least 2 years of trading or market research exposure, preferably in Finance, Economics, or STEM fields. Familiarity with tools like Thinkorswim, TradingView, or other options analytics tools is a plus. You should have a strong interest in systematic or volatility-based trading, be calm under pressure, a quick learner, and thrive in data-rich environments. This position is contractual/temporary with a contract length of 6 months. The work location is in person. If you are passionate about derivatives, volatility, and market microstructure, and eager to develop proprietary trading insights within a collaborative desk environment, this role could be a great fit for you.,
