EC1 Partners is supporting a leading global financial markets business with the hire of an Algo / Electronic Sales Trader in Singapore.

This is a newly created role within an established equities trading desk, focused on cash equities, electronic execution and client coverage across Asian markets.

The role would suit someone with around 5+ years experience in equities trading, sales trading, electronic execution, prime brokerage, securities lending or a related client-facing markets role.

The successful candidate will work closely with institutional clients, helping them access liquidity, understand market conditions and make better use of electronic and algorithmic trading solutions.

Key responsibilities include:

Supporting execution across Asian cash equity markets
Working with clients on electronic trading and algo execution workflows
Providing market colour, trading insight and client-facing commentary
Building strong relationships across the Singapore institutional trading community
Helping onboard clients and increase product adoption
Working closely with trading, product and business development teams across APAC

This role does not require someone to be a pure algo specialist from day one. Strong cash equities knowledge, genuine market interest, communication skills and the right attitude are just as important.

Relevant backgrounds may include:

Equity Sales Trading
Electronic Sales Trading
Cash Equities Trading
Algo / DMA Trading
Prime Brokerage
Securities Lending
Multi-Asset Sales Trading with equities exposure

Strong English communication skills are important, including the ability to produce clear written market content for clients.

This is a strong opportunity for a mid-level equities professional to join a global business with a growing Singapore desk, established APAC platform and clear long-term growth plans.
