Om tjänsten
EQT is looking for an experienced FX/IR Dealer to join our FX and
Interest Rate hedging team in Stockholm. In this role, you will take independent ownership of day-to-day foreign exchange and
interest rate trading activity, while also driving meaningful improvements to the governance and structural frameworks that
underpin how EQT manages financial risk. You will work at the intersection of hands-on dealing and strategic process development,
making a tangible impact on how the organisation handles its hedging operations. This is a role for someone who thrives on both
technical depth and cross-functional collaboration.
About the Team

Central Functions and is responsible for managing the firm's foreign exchange and interest rate exposures across its global
operations. The team works closely with internal stakeholders across finance, treasury, and investment functions, acting as a
trusted centre of expertise for all matters related to currency and rate risk. You will be joining a collaborative group where
technical rigour and clear communication are equally valued.
About the Role
As FX/IR you will be the primary
executor of the team's trading activity, independently handling the majority of FX spot transactions while ensuring more complex
deals are escalated and coordinated appropriately. Beyond day-to-day dealing, you will lead initiatives that raise the quality of

point of contact for internal stakeholders
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with internal stakeholders
across investment, finance, and treasury functions, providing clear and timely communication on trading activity

trade reconciliation processes, and policy and routine documentation
- Maintain and continuously improve trade logging and
reporting practices to ensure accurate records and strong audit readiness
- Exercise sound judgement in identifying when
situations require escalation, and communicate proactively with team members to ensure alignment
- Contribute to developing
and embedding best practices across FX and IR processes, helping to shape the team's ways of working over time
About You
You are a detail-oriented and self-directed professional with proven experience in FX and interest rate
trading, and you bring the judgement to operate confidently across both routine execution and more complex, project-based work.
You communicate clearly, manage stakeholder relationships with ease, and take genuine ownership of the quality and reliability of
your output.
What you'll bring (must-have):
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance,
Economics, or a related field
- At least 5 years of relevant experience in FX and interest rate trading, ideally within a

transactions independently and accurately in a fast-paced environment
- Solid understanding of interest rate products and
their application in a hedging context
- Proven project management skills, with a track record of delivering structured
improvements to processes, governance, or reporting
- Strong analytical skills and proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint,
with the ability to build and maintain dashboards and reporting tools
- Excellent communication skills in English, both
written and verbal, with the confidence to engage clearly with stakeholders at different levels of the organisation

deposits for idle cash
