We are looking for a qualified Accountant to join our Financial Reporting team. You will primarily maintain the books and records for the firm’s European businesses and prepare our monthly and annual financial statements in conjunction with accounting teams regionally and globally.

At Jane Street, we seek the best solutions to complex problems, which extends to our accounting function. Our legal and regulatory environment is constantly shifting. The right candidate will be a self-starter who cares deeply about details and deadlines, and who can jump into our fast-paced work environment.

- Self-motivated to improve processes where possible.

- Excellent time management skills, capable of handling competing priorities and working effectively in a challenging, fast-paced environment.
