Buy Side Sales

Job description

Buy-Side Sales

Location: London (Hybrid)

Circa £150k base + uncapped revenue share (top performers >20% payout)

The Opportunity

A high-growth, algorithmic execution and analytics provider is building out its European commercial team following strong traction across global futures and equities markets.

With a small but credible UK footprint and an established institutional client base (spanning some of the world’s largest asset managers and hedge funds), the business is now hiring a senior buy-side sales leader to drive new revenue across Europe.

This is a “build” role with a clear path to leadership if desired.

The Role

• Originate and close new business with institutional buy-side firms (asset managers, hedge funds, quant funds)
• Lead front-end sales activity – full ownership of pipeline creation and conversion
• Transition into strategic account coverage post-sale
• Work closely with product and leadership to shape European go-to-market strategy
• Play a key role in scaling the firm’s electronic trading footprint across Europe

What They’re Looking For

• Proven new business hunter with a track record of selling execution, algo trading, or market structure solutions
• Strong network across institutional buy-side trading desks
• Deep understanding of electronic trading workflows (equities and/or futures)
• Credibility operating at senior stakeholder level (Heads of Trading, CIOs, PMs)
• Comfortable operating in a high-autonomy, scale-up environment

Why This Role

• Already live with institutional clients managing trillions in AUM
• Differentiated product with strong traction across multiple asset classes
• Direct exposure to highly credible leadership (ex-top-tier quant and execution firms)
• Clear route to Head of European Electronic Trading
