Interactive Brokers Operator

We are looking for a hands-on Interactive Brokers Operator who lives inside Interactive Brokers (TWS) and can execute our strategies with speed, accuracy, and discipline. This is not a research or pure back-office role; you will sit on the desk, run orders, monitor markets in real time, and own the full trade lifecycle.

· Log in to Interactive Brokers (TWS) daily and execute orders across equities, ETFs, futures and FX according to predefined strategies and risk limits.

· Monitor global markets, prices, liquidity and slippage in real time; time entries/exits and escalate when conditions change.

· Manage full trade lifecycle: order entry, monitoring, fills, allocations, amendments, cancellations and end-of-day checks.

· Reconcile trades, positions, cash and P&L between IBKR and internal records, resolving breaks with brokers and operations where needed.

· Generate and maintain daily reports on trades, exposures, performance and any operational incidents.

· Monitor basic automated/algorithmic orders in IBKR, flag anomalies, and work with senior traders/tech to improve execution quality.

· Ensure all activity complies with internal risk policies and relevant regulatory requirements in the UAE and abroad.

· Provide basic market colour and execution feedback to portfolio managers (slippage, fills, liquidity, routing issues).

· Strong understanding of order types (market, limit, stop, bracket, OCO), margin, corporate actions and basic risk concepts (exposure, leverage, drawdown).

· Solid knowledge of at least one asset class (equities or ETFs as a core), plus familiarity with futures and FX; options knowledge is a plus but not mandatory.

· High attention to detail and accuracy under time pressure; proven record of minimizing errors in a live trading environment.

· Comfortable working evening or split shifts to cover all trading hours when required. Multi Role’s will be hired to manage this.

· Proficient with Excel; experience with basic VBA/Python/reporting tools is an advantage.

· Strong communication skills in English; additional languages are a plus.
