About us:

Luno is the crypto investment app you can rely on, enabling you to buy, store and explore crypto securely. We’re committed to putting the power of cryptocurrency in everyone's hands sensibly and responsibly.

Since 2013, we’ve helped millions of people around the world invest safely in crypto. We do this by cutting through the hype and supporting customers at every step of the way. All products and cryptocurrencies on our platform must first meet stringent legal, risk and technical security standards.

Transparency is key for us. Luno stores all crypto on a 1:1 basis and we have rigorous processes in place so you can be confident your investment is secure. We’re available in more than 40 countries around the world and we work closely with respective regulators in all of these markets to be fully compliant, as we believe this is the best way to help everyone, everywhere, invest safely.

The role in a nutshell:

This is a front-line trading seat on Luno's OTC desk in South Africa, reporting to the Head of Trading. You'll price, execute and risk-manage large trades for customers who already trade with us in size — institutions, corporates and professional traders — in one of the world's most active crypto-fiat markets. Sitting within our Treasury team, you'll work with the rest of the OTC desk, in-country teams and relationship managers to turn that flow into a consistently profitable book.

It's a mid-level role built to grow. We intend to lead every market we operate in, and we're building the desk's future leadership from within: you'll start by running South African flow, take on new markets and strategies as we expand, and step toward senior desk leadership as the trading business scales. If your ambition is to one day run a desk, this is where you build the track record and client franchise to get there.

Your mission will be:

- Own the client book

Be the voice of the desk for institutional customers and VIP traders: price and quote large OTC trades, source counter-trades, and execute with speed and discipline.
