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.

Key Responsibilities

·       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).

Requirements

·       2–5 years of experience in a trading, execution or dealing role (buy-side, prop trading, brokerage, or multi-asset CFD/FX broker).

·       Direct, hands-on experience using Interactive Brokers (TWS and Client Portal) for live trading; you should be comfortable operating IBKR without supervision.

·       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.

Nice to Have

·       Experience in a high-frequency, systematic or prop trading environment.

·       Prior exposure to brokerage operations, trade support or reconciliation for multi-asset trading.

·       Experience in GCC or other emerging markets.

·       Opportunity to work directly with experienced traders and portfolio managers in a fast-paced trading setup.

·       Exposure to multi-asset, cross-border strategies using a leading global electronic brokerage platform (Interactive Brokers).

·       Competitive salary and Discretionary-based incentives.
