Operations Roles - Expressions of Interest

About Us 👋

Life Trading Pty Ltd is a growing proprietary trading company with offices in Australia and the UK. We are driven by a mission to achieve success in trading by combining disciplined execution with innovative technology and strong operational foundations.

Our culture is relaxed and high-performing, built on trust, accountability, and respect. We believe in doing great work while maintaining balance outside of it.

About the Role 💡

Operations is the backbone of the firm. It spans everything that keeps trading supported, the business controlled, and the workplace running, from trade operations and risk through to finance, people, and business development.

This is an Expression of Interest. By registering, you're putting yourself forward for current and upcoming Operations roles across the function. We review every submission and reach out when there's a fit, whether that's now or as the business grows. When you apply, you'll be able to tell us which area you're most interested in, so we can match you to the right opportunity.

These are hands-on roles best suited to people who are accurate, organised, and enjoy variety and ownership in their work. As the business continues to grow, there are real opportunities for these roles to expand in scope and responsibility.
