About Leverage Shares

Leverage Shares is a fast-growing Exchange Traded Products (ETP) provider, focused on delivering innovative financial products.

You will work closely with the European Product and Trading team, and the soon-to-be assembled US team (particularly US Legal).

  • Work on mergers, product changes, and creation of new funds.
