About the Role

Your IMC journey as a Graduate Trader begins with a six-week Global Trainee Programme led by our seasoned engineers and traders alongside graduates from all three IMC regions: Europe, the United States, and Asia-Pacific.

  • Develop, maintain, and improve trading strategies and algorithms
  • Manage the execution and risk of complex trading portfolios

Your training will continue back at your local office, where you'll receive support from your dedicated mentor, an experienced trader at IMC. Our trading teams span across discretionary, systematic, and execution-focused roles, giving you the chance to apply your skills in strategy, quantitative modelling, or market execution.
