Great opportunity to join us as a Sales Associate – Investment Solutions Growth. You will be part of the Solutions team, which seeks to help investors access our best thinking and implementation when it comes to investment funds and strategies. The team consists of client-focused subject matter experts with a commercial mindset, responsible for supporting strategy development, contributing to the growth of our client base, and assisting in managing existing client relationships.

We offer solutions across a full range of listed and private markets, including alternative asset classes, all structured to give investors the best chance of meeting their strategic investment goals. Our institutional client base includes a range of pension funds, endowments, foundations, and private wealth platforms.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone at an early stage in their career, who is keen to develop within investment solutions. You will be supported by your colleagues to learn about our business and apply your skills and experience to our solutions and client portfolios.

The role will be London-based and will provide support to our European and International team. We actively support flexible working and would be happy to discuss your requirements during the application process.

The Role 

• You will work alongside the Lead Portfolio Specialists and Portfolio Analysts within the business for our investment funds and strategies, helping to prepare and maintain sales collateral, presentations, and proposals tailored to client needs across asset classes 

• You will provide pipeline support by assisting with CRM updates, tracking leads, and monitoring progress against sales targets. This may include building and maintaining Power BI dashboards and reports to provide actionable insights into sales performance and pipeline health. 

• You will support senior colleagues in our marketing efforts and work closely with compliance teams to ensure all marketing materials and sales content meet regulatory and internal standards before distribution

• You will work with colleagues to prepare sales/marketing proposals for both internal and external use, provide responses to RFPs, pitches, and due diligence processes on our solutions

People 

• The role will require you to be able to build strong networks internally in the Investments business and to collaborate effectively across teams in a timely and efficient manner.

• We will support you to develop a natural ease and effectiveness when dealing with clients/colleagues at all levels

• You will work in a very collaborative team and have the opportunity to learn from industry experts, to develop your own skills as well as providing support to more junior colleagues across the business

• We are happy to support you towards professional qualifications, for example the CFA

What you’ll bring 

• We would expect a candidate for a role at this level to have some relevant experience  although applicants with no prior work experience will also be considered, someone at an early stage in their career, who is keen to develop within investment solutions

• Self-starter who is adaptive, fast-learning, responsive, reliable, extremely well-organized, detail-oriented and committed to accuracy
• Strong communication skills
• Exceptional aptitude for following up and following through on assigned tasks
• Knowledge from a previous role in investment management producing marketing content and sales aides, or providing client service would be advantageous but not essential

• An interest to use AI (eg CoPilot) to improve workflow and efficiency
