Investment Bank - Sales and Trading - Strategic Analyst - VP

We are working with a strategy group that bolts on to the sales and trading Co-Heads of Global Markets at a top 5 investment bank in London.

The visibility of this role is unparalleled with the MDs reporting directly to the ExCo of the bank.

We are looking for someone with a blend of skills: global markets knowledge, a strategic brain and strong analytical skills. Think someone to look at information from a broad range of sources and condense into a slick, compelling presentation for a Head of sales and trading business.

Themes can range from:

- ensuring data is accurate and the story makes sense, whatever the theme from any product areas

- pure strategy work; assessing a market opportunity or similar

- analysing performance data, whether that be internally or externally produced

- assessing operational performance looking at cost, client data, market data or similar

- macro news and pulling together information and presenting it back on how it might affect the bank

One plus of the role is the career trajectory, with a path to Director; this is a small, motivated group of people hungry to succeed.

The following backgrounds would be of interest:

1. Strategy consulting experience and training to produce high quality deliverables whether in a pure strategy or execution-driven role

2. Global markets expertise; ideally across a broad range of markets products and services

3. Top notch analysis skills working with a range of data sources

4. Excellent presentational skills

5. A passion and rigour in talking and discussing market issues with senior stakeholders
