Fixed Income Trader (Executive Director/Director)

The Fixed Income Trader position is an exciting opportunity for an individual that wants to be part of a new portfolio management platform and to lead our efforts in fixed income trading. This could be an opportunity to diversify a skill base for an experienced trader, as the position would be trading U.S. Treasuries, agencies, corporate and convertible bonds, and preferred stocks. NUKU's systems require rapid and frequent execution, much of which is automated, but this position still requires a high level of contact with street dealers.

This is a great opportunity for a trader that would love to live in the beautiful Northwest, but still be active in active fixed income trading on a leading edge platform.
