As a Macro Research Analyst on our US Index desk in Chicago, you will partner closely with Traders to identify trading opportunities in the markets for US index futures and options. Based in our Chicago office, you will be an integral part of the trading team. You will attempt to find opportunities that other market participants may not be aware of or are interpreting in a different way. More than reporting what you see, you will translate macro context into actionable trade ideas - framing your views in probabilistic terms and with conviction, so that Traders can convert them into positions. You will work in a fastpaced, dynamic, sometimes highly pressured dealing room, and over time you may potentially be handling trades yourself.
IMC is a research-driven trading firm where quantitative modeling, machine learning, and engineering shape how modern markets are traded. A stabilizing force in markets since 1989, we provide liquidity across trading venues, delivering the best outcome in value and risk management to investors. Using our own technology and capital, we build proprietary systems and algorithms that operate across global markets. Our researchers, traders, and engineers work as a collective, combining rapid experimentation, advanced infrastructure, and real-time feedback to turn insight into execution and execution into advantage.
Compensation (Salary Range): 200,000 – 225,000 USD per year
The Base Salary range for the role is included below. Base salary is only one component of total compensation; all full-time, permanent positions are eligible for a discretionary bonus and benefits, including paid leave and insurance.
