This section contains all our sales and marketing jobs in financial services firms. Salespeople offer advice on investment opportunities to a range of clients such as high net worth individuals, pension funds, hedge funds or other institutional investors. Their advice can be about when to buy and when to sell securities for example. Financial salespeople usually focus on particular products such as government bonds, equities or derivatives. They should be charming, persuasive and good at selling. Larger investment firms employ research-sales professionals who sell their employer's research expertise. There are also opportunities for hybrid sales-trader roles that recommend products to clients and then execute the trades resulting from their recommendations.
A financial marketer's role is to develop new opportunities to sell these products, as well as preparing marketing materials and business pitches to position the firm as it would like to be seen. While related, marketing and public relations serve distinct functions in the financial sector. The portrayal of the brand name, products and services in advertising and promotional campaigns is the responsibility of marketers who must manage a firm's reputation. Public relations professionals focus on how a bank is represented in the media and, in the case of public companies, to investors as well.
Salespeople spend their day communicating with clients from the moment the financial markets open until the moment they close, as well as for several hours before and after. They start by reviewing financial publications along with reports from their research staff. They then learn of upgrades or downgrades to securities already covered, or of new issues being added to the coverage list when listening in on the morning conference calls conducted by research departments. Armed with this up-to-date material and information, they can begin the sales calls for the day.
People looking for a career in financial sales should be outgoing and self-confident, have the ability to grow and maintain client relationships, have excellent communication skills and the ability to understand complex financial products. They should also be passionate about financial markets, function well under pressure, be comfortable with numbers; and be able to think on their feet and react quickly to changing market conditions
Marketing staff promote their firms as a whole, while also ensuring that product-specific marketing takes place. A financial marketing career can include sponsoring events, producing brochures and other collateral, developing corporate logos, determining the pricing and positioning of products and services, and researching markets for potential new products.
To succeed in a financial marketing job you should have strong written and oral communication skills, networking and relationship management capabilities, understanding of and ability to communicate complex financial issues with authority and understanding, and have specific knowledge of markets and market segments.
