This is a highly visible role and you will be responsible for developing viable commercial solutions and proposals in the Private Market field across all STT client segments - Asset Managers, Asset Owners, Insurance, Official Institutions and Alternatives Managers. The ideal applicant will have an organized and creative mind-set (thought leader) that drives him or her to find innovative solutions and to drive business growth.

Why this role is important to us

You will be joining the Institutional Services function that allows us to deliver a comprehensive, holistic approach to each client relationship — for asset managers and asset owners, insurance companies, and official institutions globally. It means our client-facing functions work together to bring the very best solutions and services the firm has to offer — across all of our locations, products, and capabilities.

Join us if making your mark on the long-lasting client relationships we build is a challenge you are up for.

We need you to ensure key competitor intelligence is constantly updated and emergent industry trends are captured where relevant. Our value proposition should evolve to remain relevant.
