Representative Director

IMC Trading
🇦🇺Sydney🇰🇷SeoulSeniorFull-timePosted September 1, 2026

About the Role

IMC is seeking a Representative Director to hold statutory office for its Korean entity and to lead the operation of the business in Seoul.

The role carries the statutory duties of a Representative Director under the Commercial Act, together with the regulatory obligations attaching to the firm's licence and to its allocation under the Responsibilities Map regime. It also carries day-to-day accountability for how the Seoul business is run: its controls, its governance, its regulatory relationships and its operational standards.

IMC Korea appoints two joint Representative Directors. The second appointee is the firm's Head of Asia Pacific, based in Sydney. Joint appointment means execution requires both signatures. The successful candidate will hold substantial authority and will exercise it alongside a counterpart rather than independently.

This is not a trading role and it does not carry trading profit and loss responsibility.

Requirements

  • Experience as a Representative Director, registered executive or equivalent licensed officer at a financial institution in Korea, or as an adviser to institutions holding those appointments
  • Candidates must satisfy the eligibility requirements applicable to the appointment
  • A legal or regulatory background is well suited to this role
  • Relevant experience includes general counsel, head of compliance, chief operating officer or equivalent senior positions at a securities firm, or at a foreign financial institution operating in Korea
  • A sound understanding of financial markets and of market making in particular, including its function on an exchange and the operational and regulatory risks it carries
  • Direct trading experience is not required
  • Demonstrated capability operating within an international firm and across a global matrix
  • The role requires the credibility and initiative to work with senior colleagues in trading, technology and the control functions based in Amsterdam, Chicago, Sydney and Hong Kong directly
  • Comfort holding personal statutory liability, and the judgement to exercise authority soundly under a joint signing structure
