About the Position
The Finance department at Jane Street includes several teams focusing on the firm's financing initiatives including Treasury, Portfolio Finance, Bank and Broker Management, Investor Relations, among others. We’re looking for a candidate who would effectively focus on Investor Relations as well as engage in other projects across Finance as needed.
This is a great opportunity for intellectually curious people who are interested in working at the intersection of markets and business strategy. The role will be an entrepreneurial one, with a broad remit and many touch points across the firm.
Jane Street has over $6 billion in external debt in the form of multiple tranches of bonds and a term loan held by institutional investors. The candidate will work closely with senior management to shape the firm’s external messaging for debt investors, rating agencies and other key counterparts. In this role, you will regularly engage with a wide range of internal stakeholders and subject matter experts to create the materials and analytics on market and business related issues.
This role will include the following responsibilities:
- Gain an understanding of Jane Street’s business, strategy and risk management and analyze our financials and risk measures in order to properly articulate the business to stakeholders
- Set up a long-term plan to improve our standing with rating agencies, which is a key initiative of the firm

- Evaluate and form a view on Jane Street and global competitors, examining both quantitative and qualitative factors
- Work closely with investment banks to continually evaluate our funding requirements alongside market conditions
- Create materials for meetings with external constituents on a variety of subjects of topical interest
We expect you will spend a lot of time with our Investor Relations team, but will also periodically spend a fair amount of time on projects with other branches of our Finance department, such as Treasury, Portfolio Finance, Bank and Broker Management, as well as with Accounting.
