• Fluent in English and at least one other language, preferably German, Dutch
• Candidates with a network in the financial industry are a plus
• Eager, energetic, curious, and proactive by nature
• You are steady and not afraid to (cold) call (potential) clients and go on sales trips
• Good knowledge of financial products and the money and capital market is preferred
• Accurate, excellent numerical and analytical skills is a must
