Student assistant

Join our team where analytical minds turn insights into trading results - through market knowledge, data, and models.

Who we are

At Lind Capital, we take a different approach to trading. We're a team of 20+ market specialists and analytical thinkers who combine technical expertise with market understanding. From our Aarhus base, we develop and execute quantitative strategies that deliver results. With no external investors, we are free to focus on making the best possible trades using quantitative models.

Student assistant in the trading team

You will join a team of seven experienced traders and analysts. Working alongside experienced mentors, you'll develop technical and business skills while doing lots of analytical work, within equity arbitrage, market understanding, and teamwork.

The job

You will work 15-20 hours across two working days per week, with flexible scheduling to accommodate your studies (especially during exam periods) and other priorities. Your tasks will be to:

• Support our traders and analysts with analytical work mainly using Python and Excel.
• Collaborate in cross-functional projects with our data and technology teams. 
• Lead focused projects across areas such as trade execution analysis, market research, trading strategy optimization, and fair value pricing.

You make the difference

You'll succeed if you enjoy teamworking to solve complex problems and can communicate findings clearly. We value fresh perspectives and analytical thinking, and the best argument wins, irrespective of seniority.

Skills and Qualifications:

Required:

• Drive and a team-player attitude
• Strong problem-solving skills
• Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree (2nd-5th year)
• Strong academic performance in Economics, Finance, Mathematics or a similar field
• Python and Excel skills

You'll grow with us in these areas (which you might know some of already):

• Market understanding and model-based trading
• Advanced statistical analysis and machine learning
• Time series analysis and econometrics

We value potential over perfect match, and we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet all of the above.

Life at the office

As an international workplace operating in English, we bring together talented people from diverse backgrounds and actively seek different perspectives. You will become part of an informal work environment where we focus on creating results together, and where you will be empowered to make decisions. We generally dislike meetings, PowerPoints, politics, and committees, but prefer to look at the code or the chart together over the screen for a few minutes and make the decisions there and then. 

The practical stuff

This position is based in Aarhus, Denmark.

Start date: In August 

To apply, please submit your CV, grade transcripts, and motivation letter.

Applications will be processed on a rolling basis.
