Maven Securities

Maven runs a four-stage selection process for its early-career roles: an application review, online assessments (numerical, probability and coding tests plus an Arctic Shores behavioural assessment, weighted to the track applied for), a face-to-face interview, and a final assessment day. The firm states it aims to respond within two weeks of completing the online assessment, and candidates who are unsuccessful can re-apply after two years. The early assessments are quantitative and timed, so they reward preparation in mental maths and probability well before any interview. The assessment day is an in-office block, which for a candidate running several trading-firm processes at once is the scheduling constraint to plan around.

Maven recruits early-career talent into three tracks, trading (options market making), quant research, and technology (software development), across its London, Amsterdam and Chicago offices (Emerging Talent). Its published programmes include:

• Summer Trader Internship: a 9-week options market-making programme (London, Amsterdam, Chicago) for penultimate-year students, with strong interns considered for the Graduate Trader Programme
• Summer Software Developer Internship (London)
• Graduate Trader Programme (Amsterdam, Chicago) and Graduate Developer Programme (Chicago)
• Quant Researcher graduate programme (London, Chicago)
• Women in Trading and Women in Tech Spring Week programmes (London)

The internship is an explicit feeder to the graduate desk, so the summer programme is effectively the main route to a full-time trading seat, and a candidate is committing to a track and an office at the application stage rather than later.

Maven's policy splits by programme: it offers visa sponsorship for its graduate roles, while internship applicants "must hold the right to work in the region you are applying for at the time of application." Independent graduate-careers listings record the same split. For an international student this is a gate that falls before the application itself: the summer internships in London, Amsterdam and Chicago are open only to those who already hold local work rights, while the graduate programmes are reachable with sponsorship, so the internship-to-graduate pipeline is not automatically available to someone who would need a visa for the internship.

Maven describes itself as a proprietary trading firm that allocates its own internal capital across three divisions, Multi-Strategy Discretionary, Options Market Making and Multi-Strategy Systematic, rather than managing outside client money. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in London, it runs trading and technology teams from offices in Amsterdam and Chicago as well. Its early-career tracks map directly onto those divisions, options market-making for traders, systematic quant research, and software engineering. The practical implication for an applicant is that Maven hires onto specific strategy desks rather than into a general rotational scheme, so quantitative speed in probability and mental maths, not finance coursework, is the signal its selection process is built to test.
