About the Role
Are you ready to shape the future of electronic Rates execution at one of the world's leading dealers? As a Rates eSales Associate, you will sell, market, and grow the JPMorgan electronic Rates franchise to institutional clients across EMEA. You will sit at the intersection of trading, technology, and client coverage, working alongside Rates trading desks, voice sales, quant developers, and platform partners to deliver differentiated electronic execution. The role offers exposure to a rapidly evolving market structure where streaming liquidity, algorithmic execution, and data-driven client engagement are reshaping how Rates products are traded.

Key responsibilities include actively marketing and growing adoption of JPMorgan's electronic Rates execution capabilities across asset managers, hedge funds, pension funds, insurers, official institutions, and bank treasuries in EMEA. You will develop a deep understanding of each client's Rates execution workflow, cross-product wallet, and strategic priorities, working in partnership with voice sales, trading, and senior coverage to grow share of business. Managing existing electronic relationships across primary venues as well as JPMorgan's single-dealer channels and APIs, you will ensure clients are informed of new product enhancements, protocol changes, and market structure developments.

Additionally, you will analyze client flow, hit ratios, response times, and platform performance using internal MIS and analytics tools to identify opportunities to improve inquiry quality, win rates, and revenue capture. Leading commercial discussions on streaming relationships, tiering, and platform economics in coordination with trading and management will be part of your role. You will act as the business sponsor for client-driven development work—translating client requirements into clear specifications for technology, e-trading, and quant teams, and managing delivery through to client adoption.

Partnering with external venues and vendors on connectivity, new protocols, and roadmap engagement will ensure JPMorgan remains at the forefront of electronic Rates market structure. You will also contribute to the franchise's response to evolving regulatory and market structure themes, including MiFID II best execution, transparency regimes, and the continued electronification of Rates products.

This role encompasses the performance of UK regulated activity. The successful candidate will be subject to meeting UK regulatory requirements in the assessment of fitness, propriety, knowledge and competence and (where appropriate) approval by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority to carry out such activities.

- Working knowledge of order and execution management systems and client connectivity workflows.
- Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to interrogate large datasets to derive client and commercial insights.
