Description
An exciting opportunity now exists for a self-motivated, ambitious individual to join the Legal team at Optiver as the organisation continues to grow and the team's involvement in all facets of the business expands.
WHO WE ARE
Optiver is a global market maker founded in Amsterdam, with offices in London, Chicago, Austin, New York, Sydney, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei and Mumbai. Established in 1986, today we are a leading liquidity provider, with close to 2,000 employees in offices around the world, united in our commitment to improve the market through competitive pricing, execution and risk management. By providing liquidity on multiple exchanges across the world in various financial instruments we participate in the safeguarding of healthy and efficient markets.

In this role you will have the opportunity to work closely with the Legal team and with senior staff across the control functions and business throughout the APAC region as well as counterparts in Europe.
In addition, as the Legal team adopts new technologies such as document management systems to enhance its processes, you will play a key role in implementing these, where relevant to your role.
