While preference is for prior experience in finance, specifically sales and trading, all strong applicants will be considered.

A combination of strong analytical skills - day-to-day will involve derivative scenario analysis/modeling, content generation - and customer acumen - day-to-day will also involve interaction with senior client decision makers - are a must.
