Description

ETF Sales Associate (2 roles)
London | European Headquarters

Role 1: French Speaker, covering France and French-speaking Europe

Our client is a US-headquartered asset manager with over $300bn in global assets under management. Founded in the US, the firm operates across Europe, North America and Asia, with its European headquarters based in London.

They are looking to hire two highly motivated, competitive self-starters to join their ETF Sales team in London. These are commercial, target-driven roles suited to individuals who thrive in fast-paced environments and want to build a long-term career in asset management sales.

One role will focus on France and French-speaking European regions and requires fluent French. The second role will focus on the UK and wider European markets.

Direct industry experience is not essential. The firm hires based on profile and potential, though a basic understanding of financial markets is preferred. Demonstrable success in competitive environments is essential.

The successful candidates will receive a competitive base salary and an uncapped, performance-related bonus paid quarterly.
