What sets us apart
Rapid Global Expansion
Headcount has doubled to ≈400 in five years and new offices in New York, Amsterdam, Sydney and Chicago keep opening, so early‑career hires join a firm still scaling and can leave a visible mark on new desks.
London Headquarters & Multi‑Strategy Platform
Operating from the City’s trading hub, Maven runs options market‑making, quant equities and macro books, giving juniors both geographic reach and the freedom to pivot across asset classes.
Flat Hierarchy with Employee Equity
No layers of bureaucracy—grads sit beside heads of desk, ship code or trades live from month one and earn actual ownership stakes as performance grows.
Social Responsibility & Community Focus
Beyond P&L the firm channels money and staff time into inequality, sustainability and education projects, appealing to recruits who want their trading success to have wider impact.
