AddressAs a Computer Science major, you’ll understand the programming languages at play on the trading floor and have ample opportunity to apply your skills in a technical and fast-paced environment where analytical thinkers thrive.
If you’re more interested in technology than trading, we also offer a Software Engineering Graduate Program.
WHO WE ARE
At VivCourt, we’ve reimagined the purpose of a trading firm. We’re an ambitious team of conscious capitalists going toe-to-toe with the world’s biggest trading firms. We use technology and data to research and deploy trading strategies on the world’s financial markets.
WHY WORK WITH US?
Our energy team in Brisbane is in an exciting growth phase, with plans to further expand their trading strategies globally. As a graduate joining VivCourt, you'll quickly take on meaningful work responsibilities, forging your career path and accelerating your personal development. Here, you won't be a cog in a machine; you'll be a key contributor. Your fresh perspectives will help us identify new opportunities to drive our growth, and you'll find unwavering support from an experienced team to learn and develop.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Our energy desk has two roles, a trader and an analyst, which work side by side within the trading team.
- Trader: Your primary responsibilities will involve collaborating with traders and analysts to strategically identify opportunities and execute trades within the global energy markets. You'll also have the chance to actively contribute to shaping trading strategies that enhance our overall approach to Energy Trading.
- Analyst: Your primary responsibilities will involve collaborating with traders to provide fundamental research about global events, market dynamics, pricing and more. You’ll deploy robust analytical methods, utilising data to identify trends and enable informed trading decisions.
We only accept students graduating in 2024, who are Australian or New Zealand citizens or Australian Permanent Residents. To learn more about our internship, click here.
WHO YOU ARE
Many who’ve had success in our trading team have studied STEM majors or minors, but we’re open to all individuals with strengths in the right areas:
- As a trader, you’ll need knowledge of statistics, mathematics (especially probability), numerical reasoning, and data analysis. We look for candidates who can make data-driven decisions under pressure.
- As an analyst, you’ll need strong quantitative skills and should be adept in statistical modelling for decision-making. Our analysts require analytical expertise to derive insights from complex data, with proficiency in SQL, Python, R, or similar and a keen attention to detail.
- Additionally, we look for people who have:
- A keen interest in solving challenging problems in a collaborative way
- A curious nature paired with a drive to get things done and deliver results
- An ability to communicate clearly and concisely
- A positive attitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. An existing passion for trading or finance knowledge is great but not a requirement; we’re confident that those who enjoy solving challenging problems will find the trading world engaging and rewarding.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
- Remuneration: A competitive salary and bonus package (guaranteed bonuses after the first 6 and 12 months)
- Learning & Development: In-depth training program with dedicated trainers, mentors, regular feedback and supportive leadership.
- Relocation budget: Moving interstate? No worries. We cover flights and initial accommodation.
