Who we are
Optiver is a fast growing, very successful proprietary trading firm in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. Globally, we engage in highly-automated electronic market-making and arbitrage activities in a wide variety of products including derivatives, stocks and bonds. We conduct our business across 5 continents, 20 countries, in each of the world’s major economic time zones and employ over 350 people worldwide. Our culture is one of our most valuable resources, we are: strongly results-driven, open and informal, team-based, ambitious and exceedingly flexible. We are now looking for a top Mid-Office employee to reinforce our team.

What you’ll do
Our Mid Office department is responsible for all our financial control. It has two major responsibilities: Control and Customer Support. The Control department uses independent sources to control our financial intake and outflow. The Customer Support department resolves financial differences between Optiver’s internal administration and the external administration at our Clearing.

You will be responsible for setting up and improving these controls, processes, reports and reconciliations and be closely involved in developing monthly and annual reporting systems. As an important member of the team, you will also be responsible for informing our traders and clearing about settlements, overdue entries and dividends. You will report to clearing and provide them with feedback regarding their performance.

What we need

• HBO education in Finance/Accountancy or Economics;
• Qualities of accuracy, completeness and independence;
• You should have at least two years’ work experience as a controller;
• An interest in financial markets;
• Good skills in English and Dutch.

What you get
A cliché it may be, but people really are our bread and butter. We need to make sure our staff is pleased to work for us. And that they remain that way. Because with today’s skills squeeze, holding on to the right staff is as important as ever. For that reason, we try to create an optimal working environment for our staff.

We believe our compensation is virtually second to none. Just imagine: 30 days’ holiday, full first class home-work travel compensation, a premium-free pension, great bonuses, training opportunities, relocation packages, discounts on health insurance, breakfast and lunch facilities and Friday-afternoon drinks and yes, even in-house chair massages. Add the chance to work in the US or Australia if you want, and you’ve got to be tempted!

Of course, this sort of deal is not for free. Optiver is looking for the best. But if you know you’re good at your job, are looking for a challenge and the chance to grow, and are prepared to work hard, this is an opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
