At the Future Fund, we’re for future minds – like yours. The new investors and creators who thrive on different thinking and doing it together. Those who glimpse opportunity before it strikes and step up every day to grab it.
The Future Fund is Australia's Sovereign Wealth Fund, managing over $340 billion across seven public asset funds with the same purpose: growing Australia’s future. We are a global investor and work closely with world leading investment organisations to access the best investment ideas.
Where others see challenges, we see more interesting investment experiences. Every person, every skillset, every mindset is an asset. We’ve got every future generation to consider, yet our approach to investing is incredibly pure: we think about it deeply, and daily. Ours is a culture where great people grow the future together, with the rare ability to work collaboratively, think freely, and make a real difference.
Are you Futureminded? Let’s create what’s next.
The Opportunity
Apply your derivatives trading expertise to long-term portfolio construction at Australia's Sovereign Wealth Fund. Helping manage our various derivatives overlay programs, you’ll serve as a derivatives market expert, collaborating with investment teams to translate investment views into efficient and meaningful overlay strategies across multiple asset classes.
Key Responsibilities
Shape derivative overlay program design and implementation to improve whole-of-portfolio risk-adjusted returns over a multi-year horizon
Manage the full lifecycle of overlay transactions—from manager instructions through to settlement—coordinating seamlessly with operational teams
Act as a derivatives SME for the organisation — communicating overlay structure, objectives and performance, and advising on derivative market access
Actively source and communicate market developments, trading innovations, and strategic ideas; challenge the status quo
Provide rigorous oversight of external manager execution quality, assessing best execution, pricing, and market impact
Contribute to the development of systems and processes that enhance decision-making quality, risk management, and portfolio reporting
About You
Experience in trading, portfolio management or risk management of derivatives, with practical understanding of market microstructure, counterparty dynamics, and execution quality. Buy-side or sell-side trading desk experience would be an advantage.
Strong collaborator who contributes ideas and insights to team-based portfolio decisions, with ability to provide considered input amid uncertainty and maintain a whole-portfolio perspective.
Demonstrated quantitative and analytical capabilities — experience with derivative pricing/portfolio risk systems (e.g. Blackrock Aladdin) and a track record of enhancing systems, tools or analytical frameworks
Exceptional attention to detail and operational rigour
Clear, influential communicator who can explain complex overlay concepts to diverse stakeholders and build alignment around strategy changes
