A US multinational in international payments and currency risk, working with corporate clients across more than 20 markets. The company is now opening Central Europe, and this is the first hire on the ground for the Czech and Polish markets.

This is not a seat in a desk that already runs. It is the desk.

The opportunity

We are looking for an experienced FX Dealer to build and lead the Central European operation.

You will start from one of the company's existing European offices, working alongside the local team while the region gets off the ground, and you will move to a local office once the market is established. You will report to the Country Manager.

What you will do:

• Build and manage the corporate client book across the Czech Republic and Poland

• Quote, price and execute FX and derivatives transactions, spot, forwards and hedging structures

• Own every client relationship in the region during the launch phase

• Lead the build of the local team as the desk grows, starting with your first sales hire

• Shape how the company enters two new markets: sectors, pricing approach, positioning

What we are looking for

• Solid experience as an FX dealer or trader with corporate clients, in a brokerage, payments or banking environment

• Hands on experience with derivatives, not only spot execution

• Your own client portfolio, with real relationships you can develop from day one

• Czech or Polish, plus English at professional working level

• Willingness to relocate temporarily to the launch office in Europe [confirmar duración, país y quién cubre el traslado]

• Someone who wants to build something rather than inherit it

It will be a plus if

• You have opened a market or built a desk from scratch before

• You have both Czech and Polish market knowledge

• You speak German

What is on offer

• Base salary in line with the market, plus a tiered commission structure with no cap.

• Annual equity awards in the group for top performers, with a meaningful value attached

• A clear path to Country Manager as each market matures

• The platform, liquidity, technology and middle office of a global group behind you

• Direct exposure to European leadership from the first week
