Sales Manager, OP Markets

Are you a self-driven professional with expertise in demanding sales work and knowledge of capital markets? Would you like to work with international investors in a unique work environment?

We are strengthening the sales organization of OP Corporate Bank's Markets function with a Sales Manager. Our office is located in Helsinki. 

A Few Words About The Job

We are strengthening OP Corporate Bank's Markets business with a top-level salesperson for institutional sales. In this role, you will manage client relationships and be responsible for fixed income sales to demanding investors in Central Europe. In your future role, you will develop and establish new client relationships and improve OP's distribution capabilities in your area of responsibility. As part of the team, you will also contribute to the development of the product offering for capital market products. You will have the opportunity to build a network among Europe's largest investors and deepen your expertise. You will work as part of a comprehensive sales organization alongside experts in capital market products and sales, and work closely with analysts, traders, and the Debt Capital Markets business. 

What We Expect From You?

You will be part of a team responsible for selling capital market products to institutional investors. In your role, you will focus on servicing international fixed income investors, so we expect you to have experience and understanding of capital markets and demanding sales work in the financial sector. You should be able to communicate in Finnish, speak English fluently, and proficiency in German or French is considered a significant advantage. Your educational background should include an advanced university degree that supports the required skills for the position and success in the role.

Above all, you are an innovative salesperson who naturally networks in an international environment and can establish and develop demanding client relationships. Traveling within Europe is enjoyable for you, and you gain energy from new encounters. Self-motivation and a drive for results propel you forward with a clear focus, and you never leave customer promises half-hearted. You are a true team player and you believe in succeeding together and working openly as a team.

Success in this role requires initiative, a solution-oriented approach, and the ability and willingness to understand both the logic of the Markets business and the needs of our customers. You work efficiently and purposefully, planning and completing even larger projects independently and within the agreed timelines. You seamlessly utilize the expertise of those around you to advance your own skills and tasks.

What We Will Offer You

You will work as part of a comprehensive Institutional Sales team that operates extensively in the capital markets and is responsible for selling Markets products mainly to institutional and corporate clients. Together with your team, you will develop a growing business area, supported by a large organization offering resources from data analytics to system development. We are united by a dynamic, action-oriented spirit and a strong drive to improve our operations. With effective ways of working, opportunities for personal development, and a can-do attitude, you can shape your own career path with the full support of the organization.

You will work in OP's head office trading room in Vallila, Helsinki, which uniquely brings together all Markets functions under one roof, from sales and trading to settlement and development across all asset classes. You will have a unique opportunity to develop the Markets business and your own expertise in the heart of the market, surrounded by top professionals in the field.

As a counterbalance to responsible work, we take care of your well-being and future-oriented work arrangements. We offer you a stable environment where responsibility, human touch, and mutual success are key values.

You get access to our versatile employee benefits, which include staff-based banking, insurance, and loan services. We also offer comprehensive occupational health care, extensive medical expense insurance, and full-time accident insurance. We invest in everyday balance and flexibility as well as offering you lunch, exercise, and cultural benefits and the opportunity for inexpensive vacations in OP Pohjola vacation shares.
