About the role

Gerald Metals in Stamford, CT seeks a Trading Assistant to join the front office trading team. You will support traders with trade capture, validation, and risk monitoring, and act as a key liaison with internal and external stakeholders. The role emphasizes accuracy, rapid problem solving, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. A strong math background, Excel/VBA proficiency, and interest in derivatives markets are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
