About Belle Jiao

With over a decade of experience as a Casting Director, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of background talent across 27+ productions—including hit series and films for Netflix, HBO, NBC, Starz, Amazon, and more. My passion for discovering and nurturing diverse talent has always been at the heart of my work, whether in entertainment or now in finance.Currently, I’m channeling that same passion into the world of technology recruiting at Jefferies, where I specialize in identifying and connecting top-tier tech professionals with impactful roles across the investment banking landscape. From front office engineering (quant devs, trading systems, low-latency C++, C#, Java, Python developers), to middle office tech (risk platforms, trade lifecycle systems), back office infrastructure (finance, compliance, and post-trade systems), and enterprise technology (HRIS, CRM, and internal tools)—I’m focused on building high-performing teams that drive innovation and operational excellence.If you\'re a technologist looking to make a meaningful impact in finance, or simply curious about opportunities at Jefferies, I’d love to connect.
