Brand & Communications Coordinator
DRW is a principal trading firm, which means we have no outside investors or third party funds, and we trade for our own account in markets around the world. Our trading is diverse—across asset classes and instruments, using our own models and systems—and it’s this diversification that sets us apart. We were founded in 1992 by bringing together technology, research, and risk management to capture trading and investment opportunities, and we still take that approach today. Though we’ve grown to more than 800 exceptional people in six cities around the world, we have the spirit of a start-up and a constant focus on results.
As a Brand & Communications Coordinator, you’ll help DRW and our affiliated companies (Vigilant, Convexity Properties, Cumberland, DRW Venture Capital, to name a few) build a strong brand and reputation by applying your passion for PR, brand marketing and communications. You’ll be part of small, relatively new team that is passionate about telling the stories of our people, businesses and ideas.
