Job offer - how good do I need to be at Maths

Hey all.

I am currently on a Wealth Management grad scheme at a large Investment Bank.

The bank is thinking of setting up a Wealth Management Trading Desk in my location, I have been told I could be considered as a Junior on the team.

I have no experience in trading, I did economics at Uni so I am mathematically literate but no where near as good as your typical maths or engineering grad.

Will this hold me back, or should I go for it?

Basically, can I get by without being a maths wizz??
