Job description

London, UK

OVERVIEW
Our European sales team is hiring a Sales Support Analyst. The European sales team works with CC&L affiliated investment teams to grow the group’s asset management business by identifying and pursuing prospective investors for its diverse suite of investment strategies. We place a high value on maintaining an entrepreneurial spirit and creating a culture where each of us have opportunities to succeed. The sales teams in Canada, USA and Europe are a solution-orientated and collaborative ensemble seeking likeminded individuals who thrive in a challenging and dynamic environment.

This is a London (UK) based role and can offer some flexibility (when appropriate) between working from home and the office (1-2 x home / 3-4 x office) in Central London. This position works across our organization (investment, operations, IDA, legal, compliance, marketing teams), as well externally (consultants, databases, portals, capital introduction teams).

Location: While this role is ideally based in our London office, we’re also open to internal applicants based in Toronto or Montreal. If you're located in either of these offices, some flexibility will be needed to accommodate a few overlapping hours with our London team.

OBJECTIVE
The primary objective for the Sales Support Analyst is to help foster a high level of efficiency and productivity for the sales manager(s) in Europe. Each of the job responsibilities outlined in this document are important components of the sales process. When the Sales Support Analyst effectively assumes these responsibilities, the external facing sales manager(s) are able to increase the volume and quality of their prospecting activities.


RESPONSIBILITIES The Sales Support Analyst will assist European sales managers with planning and execution and will support the engagement with consulting firms in the pursuit of favorable ratings, and with other groups such as capital introduction teams for sales targets identification. The Sales Support Analyst will work closely with CC&L affiliates and various Financial Group teams (marketing, product, operations, legal, compliance, IDA) on a number of projects in support of the sales effort. At the same time, the Sales Support Analyst will continue to build their own knowledge of global capital market concepts, the firm’s investment capabilities, and the institutional sales process.

• External meeting preparation and follow-up
• External ad-hoc data requests
• RFP & investment database coordination review
• Sales opportunity and manager search analysis
• Competitive analysis
• Coordination and distribution of marketing content and research
• New client onboarding
• Creation and management of internal reports and other materials

QUALIFICATIONS The successful Sales Support Analyst candidate will be a highly energetic and motivated investment professional with 3-6 years of asset management experience:

• Team player with positive attitude and entrepreneurial spirit
• Developing knowledge of the global equity markets
• Knowledge of European asset management industry (UCITS, AIFs, wholesale, platforms) a plus
• Strong ability to recognize selection patterns
• Familiarity with the development and execution of a sales plan
• Excellent communication and computer (MS Office primarily) skills
• Ability to effectively coordinate projects across multiple teams
• High degree of integrity and maturity
