Associate Head of Trader Education
Old Mission is a global proprietary trading firm that leverages state-of-the-art technology and research to identify and execute profitable trading strategies across multiple asset classes around the world. Our offices in Chicago, New York, and London are all composed of naturally-curious individuals who thrive in a team environment and constantly strive for improvement.
About the Role:
Old Mission is seeking an experienced trader to serve as second-in-command of our Education function, partnering directly with the Head of Education to build, run, and continuously improve how we develop traders across the firm. The right candidate has sat on a market-making or trading desk, understands P&L and risk at an intimate level, and wants their next chapter to be shaping the next generation of traders.
What You'll Do:
- Co-own the design and delivery of Old Mission's trader training curriculum and deliver a meaningful share of the teaching load which includes but isn’t limited to options theory, market microstructure, risk management, and mock-trading exercises
- Act as the bridge between the trading desks and the classroom to pull real, current market scenarios into training content, so it stays grounded in how Old Mission actually trades
