You will report to the Head of Institutional Sales and work closely with Sales, Research and Operations.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

• Receive, work and execute institutional client orders on HOSE, HNX and UPCoM — including large and illiquid orders, VWAP/TWAP-style working orders, programme trades and blocks — delivering best execution and minimising market impact.

• Maintain execution records and ensure compliance with exchange rules, FOL and internal risk and conduct policies.
• Contribute to desk procedures, controls and the build-out of sales trading capability as the client base grows.

• 3 or 4 years of equity execution in Vietnam, sales trading or dealing experience.
• Detailed knowledge of Vietnamese market microstructure — trading sessions, order types, price limits, foreign ownership limits, put-through mechanics and settlement.
• Can work under pressure with an instinct for liquidity and a strong sense of risk.
• Familiarity with trading systems and electronic execution (FIX connectivity, EMS/OMS platforms, algos); exposure to TCA is a plus.
• Fluent Vietnamese and strong working English, as the role deals with both local market participants and international client desks.
• Vietnamese securities practitioner licence held or willing to obtain
• Impeccable integrity and attention to control and conduct requirements.
