Who we are
Optiver is a rapidly growing proprietary trading firm, with offices in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. We focus on electronic market making and arbitrage activities in a wide variety of products including derivatives, stocks and bonds.  We trade with our own money and at our own risk.

Our business covers 5 continents, 20 countries and each of the world’s major economic time zones. With more than 400 employees worldwide, our culture is one of our most valuable resources: we are young at heart, strongly results-driven, open and informal, team-based, ambitious and exceedingly flexible.

Although market making and arbitrage are our core activities, we rely heavily on our IT expertise and excellent Business Operations support in order to achieve the highest success with the lowest risk possible.

What you’ll do
Our Mid Office department is responsible for all our financial control. It has two major responsibilities: Control and Customer Support. The Control department uses independent sources to control our financial intake and outflow. The Customer Support department resolves financial differences between Optiver’s internal administration and the external administration at our Clearing.

You will be responsible for setting up and improving these controls, processes, reports and reconciliations and be closely involved in developing monthly and annual reporting systems. As an important member of the team, you will also be responsible for informing our traders and clearing about settlements, overdue entries and dividends. You will report to clearing and provide them with feedback regarding their performance.

What we need

• HBO education in Finance/Accountancy or Economics;
• Qualities of accuracy, completeness and independence;
• You should have at least two years’ work experience as a controller;
• An interest in financial markets;
• Good skills in English and Dutch.

What you'll get

At Optiver, we understand that our staff is our most important asset. In addition, today’s skills shortage means attracting and retaining the best employees is more important than ever. As a result, we provide a highly attractive compensation package to ensure that we can employ and hold on to the very best people.

Just imagine: 30 days’ holiday, fully paid first-class commuting expenses, a premium-free pension, great bonuses, training opportunities, relocation packages, discounts on health insurance, breakfast and lunch facilities, Friday-afternoon drinks and even in-house chair massages. In addition, we offer the opportunity to work in the US or Australia.

Of course, this sort of deal is not for free. Optiver is looking for the best. But if you know you’re good at your job, are looking for a challenge and the chance to grow, and are prepared to work hard, this is an opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
