Your Contribution to Our Growth

We are looking for a motivated Trade Desk Analyst to join our Vancouver office and work within our Trading Desk. This team is the front line support for our institutional clients, ensuring timely and accurate service for our traded products. This role is more complex than a typical support position, combining client-facing responsibilities with analytical, reporting, and operational work.

In this role, you will gain an in-depth understanding of how a modern financial services firm operates from the ground up. You will support critical business functions and actively help identify opportunities to streamline and optimize our processes. Your day-to-day will bridge operations and client relations—ranging from resolving client inquiries regarding products, payments, and transactions, to managing complex settlements and preparing key operational reports. This position is highly suited for a proactive self-starter with exceptional attention to detail, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for learning how a fast-paced fintech business operates

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity, hybrid out of our Downtown, Vancouver office.

The successful candidate will complete training on a Monday to Friday schedule during their first few months. Upon completion of training, the role will transition to a regular Saturday to Wednesday schedule , including weekend and statutory holiday coverage as assigned.
