Trade Analyst (OTC)
Meritis kicked off its journey in Paris in 2007—and we've been growing fast ever since, on a mission to make tech consulting smarter and more human.
Since then, we've been on a bit of a growth spree—spreading across France to cities like Lyon, Bordeaux, and Lille, and even crossing borders to set up shop in sunny Lisbon in 2023.
And the adventure didn't stop there: in 2025, we touched down in Belgium—ready to boost our clients' digital game across Europe
Our 900+ consultants work hand-in-hand with our clients to tackle challenges in Finance, Software Engineering, Cloud & Infrastructure, Data, Cybersecurity, and Project/Product Management.
At Meritis, we believe success goes beyond technical skills—it's also about excellence, humility, kindness, and strong relationships. Oh—and we've landed on the Great Place To Work list five times, not that we're counting
For one of our solid partners in Brussels, we are looking for a Trade Support Analyst to reinforce the Asset Management division. You will join a dynamic trade support team and play a key role in Business-As-Usual (BAU) activities, with strong exposure to OTC derivatives and buy-side operations.

Profile
