About the Position
We are looking for an Events Coordinator to join our Creative Engagement team who can help expand the events offered in our Asia offices. The right person will have a service mentality and enjoy building relationships with all sorts of teams across our firm to understand their team goals and what types of events would best suit them.
Our employees are key to our firm's success, and we work hard to find opportunities for individuals to connect with our culture and each other. We aim to offer events that support the broader goals of the firm, while also keeping our colleagues feeling engaged, supported, and excited to come to work. We also use our event offerings to shape the way people outside of Jane Street interact with our firm, including students and professionals who are looking to work with us.

- Building relationships across the firm to understand our culture and employees
- Organising events from start to finish, including but not limited to venue selection, catering, entertainment, transportation, promotion, RSVP management, and on-site event-day support
- Collaborating with our Recruiting, Human Resources, Workspace Services and other internal support teams
- Maintaining a database of all event details and costs
- Working with our Legal team on all event-related contracts
About You
- Bachelor’s degree and 2+ years of experience in event management
- Intellectually curious, creative, and eager to learn
- Reliable and flexible team player with a positive attitude
- Willing to work with a flexible schedule that may include some early mornings, evening hours, and after-hours events
- Have strong people skills and a customer service mentality; can prioritise and resolve varying and sometimes conflicting requests
- Excellent communicator, both spoken and written
- Fluency in English and Cantonese required

What We Do
Jane Street works differently. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we trade on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries and help form the backbone of global markets. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysis, but our success is driven by our people.
Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar.
Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles.
We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day.
People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
