RESPONSIBILITIES AND QUALIFICATIONS

Team Description

Goldman Sachs Electronic Trading (GSET) enables clients to execute trades directly through the Goldman Sachs (GS) trading infrastructure (rather than placing an order with a sales trader for execution by a trading desk). Direct Market Access (DMA) refers to clients placing orders on exchanges following an execution strategy they define themselves. GS also offers a suite of Algorithmic Trading strategies which clients can select to allow our algorithmic trading engine to target a specific execution benchmark on their behalf.

The team is responsible for selling, managing and developing the electronic trading capabilities of the firm's GSET Services.

Sales – Includes sales, marketing and acquisition. We pitch the full suite of electronically tradable products, including Equities, Futures, Options and Synthetics, and discuss the DMA and algorithmic trading execution channels. We work closely with the more traditional businesses within Equities, such as Cash Sales Trading, Program Trading and Prime Brokerage in order to target DMA and Algorithmic business from existing customers as well as the outright acquisition of new customers.

Coverage – Includes both sales trading and trading functions, providing client support and trading. The team has the same relationship management responsibilities as the traditional desks and act as execution consultants covering the Algorithmic trading strategies.

Based in Mumbai, GSET is currently seeking an Associate or Vice President to join the high-performing team with these key responsibilities:

• Provide account coverage for global and domestic institutions; develop relationships with customers
• Work with internal members to develop our products
• Act as an execution consultant to provide real-time and strategic trading solutions to clients and internal users
