About this role
Be the voice that brings Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) to life for financial advisors and institutional clients. You’ll help translate markets and structuring into clear, actionable solutions that drive real client outcomes.
Job summary
As an Associate in Sales (Structured Investments), you will serve as a highly client-facing sales resource responsible for building and sustaining an active engagement cadence with broker-dealers, banks, RIAs, insurance clients, and ETF issuers, with frequent day-to-day interaction with financial advisors. In close partnership with third-party wholesaling partners, you will educate, position, and drive adoption of QIS solutions delivered through multiple product wrappers. You will coordinate with internal partners, including Trading and Structuring, to provide QIS updates, product positioning support, implementation support, and timely content in service of client outcomes. You will also develop a practical understanding of structured note construction by engaging directly with pricing models and modeling frameworks to construct and iterate indicative structures (terms, payoffs, scenarios, and tradeoffs) for client discussions.
