Senior Client Service/ Business Development Associate
Martin Currie is a specialist investment-management company. Our headquarters are based in Edinburgh, Scotland, with satellite offices in New York, Melbourne, Singapore, Zurich and London. Globally, we manage US$8.0 billion in active equity portfolios and hedge funds for clients across Europe, North America and around the world.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a senior client-service/business-development associate to join our New York sales team. Working collaboratively with the client-service and business-development executives, the successful candidate will provide instrumental support for our institutional business. This will involve the full client-service lifecycle: from basic analysis of potential sales leads, assisting with prospect plans, providing collateral for client meetings, through to direct follow-up on behalf of sales/client-service managers and logging each stage within our company CRM system.
This role demands a combination of talents. An acute, analytical mind is a prerequisite. The ability to effectively and efficiently manage your own workload and meet demanding deadlines is vital. You will also need the communication and people skills necessary to engage with individuals at varying levels.
The ideal candidate will:
- Be degree educated in any of the following fields: finance; economics, mathematics, engineering or a related discipline from an accredited university.
- Be CFA-qualified or working towards that qualification.
- Hold series 63/7 exams or working towards accreditation.
- Have a least 2–5 years’ experience working within the investment field, ideally in an institutional capacity.
- Possess good knowledge of investment terms and concepts
- Have strong ICT skills – the post will involve working with the Microsoft office suite, Bloomberg, FACTSET and CRM systems.
We offer highly competitive salaries and a bonus plan in which reward is aligned strongly with sales performance and, in the case of the sales team, sales leads that result in new net business for the company.
Employee ownership is a key part of the culture of Martin Currie, and almost all employees are shareholders. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to build a stake in the business.
