Job description

Macquarie's Futures clearing business has experienced strong recent growth within its institutional client base, particularly across hedge funds and asset managers. We are now expanding our EMEA team and seeking an experienced Futures clearing sales professional to build on this momentum. Known for our excellence in commodities, we also have global reach and capabilities to clear traditional financial listed derivatives, offering clients a truly comprehensive solution.

At Macquarie, our advantage is bringing together diverse people and empowering them to shape all kinds of possibilities. We are a global financial services group operating in 31 markets and with 56 years of unbroken profitability. You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone – no matter what role – contributes ideas and drives outcomes.

What role will you play?

You will be responsible for originating new institutional client relationships – with a specific focus on hedge funds and asset managers across the EMEA region. Critically, you will be expected to hit the ground running, leveraging your existing network to open doors and gain direct access to the key decision‑makers within these institutions – specifically those responsible for selecting and appointing futures clearing providers. You will drive new business origination whilst also managing and growing an existing book of institutional clients. Given the global nature of some of our institutional clients, you will also work closely with our US colleagues where required.

What You Offer

• A minimum of 5 years’ experience in futures clearing sales – this is a strict requirement
• A strong, established network of institutional contacts, specifically decision‑makers at hedge funds and asset managers who are responsible for determining futures clearing relationships
• The ability to open doors independently and navigate institutional organisations to reach the right people quickly and effectively
• A proven track record in futures clearing sales, with demonstrable success in originating and growing institutional client relationships
• Solid knowledge of futures clearing and the broader listed derivatives landscape across both commodities and financial products
• A self‑starter attitude – commercially hungry, proactive, and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy
• Experience covering EMEA‑based institutional clients with an understanding of the regional market and regulatory environment
• Ability to collaborate effectively with internal teams including Client Service, Risk, Market Operations, and Compliance

We love hearing from anyone inspired to build a better future with us. If you’re excited about the role or working at Macquarie, we encourage you to apply.

What We Offer

Benefits

• 1 wellbeing leave day per year and a minimum of 25 days of annual leave
• 26 weeks’ paid parental leave for primary caregivers along with 12 days of paid transition leave upon return to work and 6 weeks’ paid leave for secondary caregivers
• Paid fertility leave for those undergoing or supporting fertility treatment
• 2 days of paid volunteer leave and donation matching
• Access to a wide range of salary sacrificing options
• Benefits and initiatives to support your physical, mental and financial wellbeing including comprehensive medical and life insurance cover
• Access to our Employee Assistance Program, a robust behavioural health network with counselling and coaching services
• Access to a wide range of learning and development opportunities, including reimbursement for professional membership or subscription
• Access to company funded emergency and backup dependent care services
• Recognition and service awards
• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements, dependent on role
• Reimbursement for work‑from‑home equipment
