The ideal candidate has 2-5 years of sell‑side experience and a strong interest in commodities, systematic strategies, and flow‑based products.

- Collaborate closely with structuring - the teams work with significant overlap.
- Maintain internal systems, CRM entries, and reporting tools to support revenue generation.
- Prepare client meeting notes, summaries, and follow‑through action plans.
- Ensure all trade lifecycle steps and client requests are handled accurately and promptly.
Qualifications
- 2-5 years of experience on the sell side (sales, sales support, trading assistant, or similar).
- Background or strong interest in commodities is required; specific sub‑sector expertise is flexible.
- Exposure to QIS, systematic strategies, or derivatives is a plus.
- Strong communication and client‑facing skills.
- Exceptional organization and attention to detail.
- Ability to thrive in a collaborative, markets‑focused environment.
- Must be comfortable working 5 days per week in the office.
- Desire to grow into a sales/front‑office role over time.
What This Role Offers
- A clear development runway with hands‑on mentorship from senior sales leaders.
- Deep exposure to commodities, QIS models, and institutional client workflows.
- A collaborative culture where sales and structuring operate with tight alignment.
- Growth potential into a full client‑facing sales seat.
- Ownership of meaningful account and operational processes from day one.
- A firm that prioritizes grassroots growth and invests in junior talent.
