BNP Paribas Global Markets is offering a Structured Product Specialist position in its Strategic Marketing Team, as part of the Graduate Programme starting in January 2017

The Strategic Marketing team

Like the other Front-Office functions, the Strategic Marketing team has a presence on the main platforms of Global Markets : Paris, London, New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, etc. All types of clients throughout several different European countries are looked after from Paris – from institutional investors and corporate clients to retail networks.

The team packages and promotes structured products covering multiple asset classes: equities, commodities, interest rates, foreign exchange, credit, etc.

They work mainly with the Structuring and Sales teams, but also with multiple job functions across BNP Paribas and with external partners, to produce technical, educational materials on innovative investment strategies. From initial discussions on how to best present the strategies, and the creation of teaching contents, to the delivery of the materials, they are involved every step of the way. Therefore the team members have dual roles: they are financial experts, who can understand and explain sophisticated mechanisms, as well as project managers, who oversee marketing processes from A to Z.

Furthermore, they help build customer loyalty by developing cutting-edge tools and services, enabling clients to enjoy exclusive access to market information and analyses, and assisting them in asset allocation.

They also contribute to setting up and executing communications campaigns involving coordinated press interviews, adverts, digital marketing and events.

As a result, technical and interpersonal skills and the ability to be both strategic and hands-on are pre-requisites for all team members.

Your role

Following a period of training on structured products and on marketing tools and methods, you will be in charge of planning, coordinating and monitoring various projects, in French and English:

• Drafting technical contents for teaching materials: slideshows, brochures, videos, etc.
• Organising communications campaigns
• Developing and maintaining digital tools and services for websites and apps
• Running market intelligence to best manage our ranges of strategies, and to develop our marketing services

The graduate programme

As a graduate, you will be stretched and challenged to develop quickly. With outstanding training, on-the-job coaching, and early career specialisation, you can expect to develop into a fully-fledged Analyst in just 12 months.

From the day you arrive, you will be a key member of the team. You will have direct contact not just with your peers, but also with senior members of staff all around the business.

Our graduate programme is not only highly competitive, but also intellectually demanding. To secure a place, you will need a strong academic background and excellent analytical skills.

We are looking for spark and real determination too – people who will drive their own development and take every opportunity to learn that comes their way. We also want people who show true team spirit and work collaboratively with others.
