Investment Banking Associate

Investment Banking, Sales and Trading (Capital Markets) Associate – Markets, Trading, Investments, Risk Management

Swiss Finance operates across New York, London, Zurich, and Stockholm , supporting a global platform spanning markets, trading, asset management, and institutional investor workflows .

We are hiring a Investment Banking Associate for people who actually live in markets. If you follow rates, vol, flows, positioning, macro catalysts, and you can speak in a sharp, professional way about what matters and why, you will fit the culture.

This role is designed for candidates who want to build real credibility in the buy-side and capital markets ecosystem. You do not need a perfect pedigree. You do need intensity, judgment, and the ability to execute.

You will be expectged to support a mix of market-facing and capital-facing workflows, including:

• Market and investment research across equities, rates, FX, vol, and macro
• Building short internal briefs: “what matters this week” and “what changed today”
• Investor and allocator research (family offices, institutional allocators, HNW channels)
• Outbound outreach and structured conversations with market participants
• Supporting investor relations and capital workflow execution, including CRM discipline
• Creating tight market commentary and short video content that sounds credible (not influencer content)

This is a strong fit if you are coming from or around:

• Capital markets, institutional sales, prime brokerage coverage, IR, placement, wealth management
• Trading, execution, derivatives, structured products, or market strategy roles
• Asset management, hedge fund ops, research support, or allocator-facing work
• Finance-adjacent careers where you’ve built real market intuition but want a sharper platform

Typical experience level is 2 to 10 years , but we care more about how you think and communicate than a rigid number.

What we’re looking for

• Strong interest in markets and investing (real, sustained interest, not a phase)
• Comfortable on the phone and in writing with sophisticated people
• Can synthesize and communicate: clarity beats complexity
• Persistent execution, you follow up, track pipelines, and finish loops
• Professional presence: you can represent a serious platform without oversharing or rambling

What you gain

• A global platform and brand signal across major financial centers
• Real exposure to how capital decisions and investor conversations happen
• The chance to build a credible public footprint (writing, commentary, video) with professional standards
• Potential progression into higher-responsibility tracks as output and trust compound
