• Assist in client relationship management and coverage

Who We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for someone with up to two years’ market experience, who’s keen to build a career in fixed income sales and trading. We’re especially interested in candidates with exposure to GBP bonds—including Gilts, T-Bills, and Corporates.

Who We Are

Allia C&C is a specialist fixed income broker with a strong reputation in illiquid, retail, and public benefit bonds, including issues from housing associations, charities, and social impact organisations. We’ve pioneered bespoke platforms like RCB Bonds and have built trusted relationships with a wide network of high-quality issuers and investors.

Over the past five years, we've advised or managed over £4 billion in transactions spanning loans, bonds, and public offerings, while continuing to grow our daily broking operations.

As part of our next phase of growth, we’re looking to recruit energetic talent to support trading activity and investor engagement in this dynamic market space.

We are part of the Allia Group, a not-for-profit organisation, working with organisations, entrepreneurs and businesses that aim to make positive change for people, where they live and the environment.

We offer:

• Competitive compensation and benefits
• A flexible, supportive, and mission-driven work environment
• Direct exposure to a fast-growing product pipeline
• The chance to work closely with experienced professionals in a high-touch, impactful broking firm

This is more than just a sales trading role—it's a chance to grow your skills, expand your network, and contribute to a team that helps finance organisations making a real difference.

We are committed to equality and diversity for our ventures, tenants, colleagues, volunteers, trustees and supporters. We value the strength that comes with difference and the positive contribution that diversity brings to the communities in which we serve. We are working to increase diversity and would particularly welcome applications from groups that are currently under-represented, including those from a BAME background.
