Junior Market Analyst

MEYA HOLDINGS is currently looking to bolster its analytical team by bringing on a motivated Junior Market Analyst. This role is ideal for an early-career professional looking to immerse themselves in the fast-paced world of digital assets and financial research. As a fully remote organisation, the company operates across global time zones, requiring a candidate who thrives in a distributed environment and can maintain high levels of autonomy.

About the role

The successful applicant will play a vital part in the daily operations of a firm dedicated to data-driven trading strategies. You will be tasked with keeping a finger on the pulse of the cryptocurrency landscape, ensuring that the organisation remains agile in its decision-making. Since the firm deals with both spot and derivatives markets, the role offers significant exposure to how modern financial infrastructure functions across various digital exchanges.

You will act as a bridge between raw data and actionable strategy, helping the team refine its approaches to market volatility and asset management. Because the firm focuses heavily on research-led trading, the ability to synthesise complex information into clear, digestible reports is essential.

What you’ll do

Your daily responsibilities will revolve around monitoring market behaviour and ensuring that trading systems are operating within the firm’s established risk parameters. Specifically, you can expect to:

• Track cryptocurrency price movements, liquidity trends, and general market sentiment.
• Conduct technical analysis to highlight potential trading opportunities for the broader team.
• Oversee asset distribution across both Centralised Exchanges (CEX) and Decentralised Exchanges (DEX).
• Provide assistance with the execution and oversight of Spot, Futures, and Options trading.
• Prepare consistent performance reports detailing market conditions and the efficacy of current strategies.
• Liaise with technical teams to troubleshoot operational bottlenecks or platform-specific issues.
• Ensure that all automated trading protocols adhere strictly to internal risk management guidelines.

What they’re looking for

MEYA HOLDINGS is seeking someone who combines technical curiosity with a rigorous approach to data. You should be comfortable navigating the complexities of the crypto-finance sector, with at least one year of practical experience in a related environment. The core requirements include:

• A solid grasp of both CEX and DEX platforms and how they function within the ecosystem.
• Practical experience applying technical analysis and market indicators to inform financial decisions.
• Strong analytical problem-solving capabilities, paired with a high degree of attention to detail.
• Excellent verbal and written English communication skills, essential for working within an international, remote-first team.
• The discipline to manage tasks independently without requiring constant oversight.

For a South African professional, this role offers an excellent entry point into the global fintech and digital assets industry. In the local market, junior analyst positions in digital finance or investment houses typically see starting packages ranging from R250,000 to R400,000 per annum, depending on previous exposure to financial modelling or trading software. Working for an international entity like MEYA HOLDINGS provides a significant advantage for your CV, as it demonstrates the ability to operate in a distributed, high-stakes environment. Growth paths from this role often lead to senior quantitative research positions, portfolio management, or specialised roles in algorithmic trading infrastructure.

• At least 1 year of experience in cryptocurrency, trading, or financial analysis.
• Knowledge of centralized and decentralized exchanges (CEX and DEX).
• Basic understanding of technical analysis and market indicators.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• High attention to detail and responsibility.
• Good written and spoken English.
• Ability to work independently and communicate effectively with a remote team.
