Graduate Risk Analyst

Your IMC journey begins with a three-week Global Trainee Program led by our seasoned engineers and traders, during which you’ll link up with graduates from all IMC regions: Europe, the United States, India and Asia-Pacific. During this traineeship, you’ll learn more about IMC, the basics of trading and options theory. Training continues back at your local office, where you’ll receive support from a dedicated mentor. As a Graduate Risk Analyst, you operate at the beating heart of our business: in the dealing room of IMC’s Amsterdam office. Your work supports IMC’s critical day-to-day risk management activities, including the monitoring and analysis of our markets, as well as our credit, liquidity, and operational risks. What happens next is up to you!

YOUR CORE RESPONSIBILTIES

• Become an expert in options, financial markets, and how IMC applies algorithmic trading as a market maker
• Contribute to the ongoing development of IMC’s proprietary risk management systems, together with our Engineers
• Analyse developments in the markets in which we trade and identify risks and opportunities
• Be an integral part of your team by advising on limit requests, monitoring intraday and overnight risks, and discussing key exposures with our trading desks

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES

• Recent or upcoming graduates seeking to join IMC full-time in February 2027

• An academic background in Mathematics, Physics and/or Econometrics or a related field
• Proficiency in a programming language is preferred (Python, MATLAB or R)

• First-class analytical skills and a desire to solve complicated problems creatively
• A genuine interest in financial markets

Please note: If you have already applied for this position during the current recruitment season and were not selected, you may reapply when the next recruitment season begins in Summer 2027. We encourage you to focus on enhancing your skillset before reapplying.

Due to current U.S. immigration and visa restrictions, some candidates may not be eligible to obtain the U.S. business visa required as part of our Global Traineeship Programme. As the programme includes mandatory training in the United States shortly after joining, we are unfortunately unable to proceed with applications from candidates who are unable to obtain the required visa within the programme timeline.

 
If you are a dual passport holder of another nationality or a European citizen who wants to relocate back to Europe, you remain welcome to apply and should inform our campus recruitment team of your situation:
