A leading global financial institution is seeking a Derivatives Sales Analyst to join their Institutional Equity Division in Singapore.

This role offers an exceptional opportunity for you to immerse yourself in the world of derivatives sales, working closely with experienced trading professionals and gaining exposure to a wide range of asset classes. You will be part of a supportive team that values collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional growth. The organisation is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where your interpersonal skills and willingness to learn are celebrated. With access to ongoing training opportunities and flexible working arrangements, this position is ideal for those looking to build a rewarding career in finance while enjoying generous benefits and a nurturing workplace culture.

  • Join a globally respected financial institution in Singapore, offering unparalleled exposure to institutional equity derivatives sales and market-making activities.
  • Benefit from a collaborative team environment with supportive leadership, extensive training opportunities, and flexible working options designed to help you thrive.
  • Enjoy a workplace that prioritises inclusivity, professional development, and generous pension contributions, ensuring your long-term success and well-being.

What you'll do:

As a Derivatives Sales Analyst, you will play a pivotal role within the Institutional Equity Division by engaging directly with trading professionals and institutional clients. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve learning about client needs, building lasting relationships, assisting in the development of compelling investment ideas, and supporting the execution of complex trades. You will leverage your analytical skills to provide valuable insights into client revenue streams while helping optimise commission management.

  • Work alongside the Trading team to learn about the client base and establish as well as maintain long-term relationships with institutional clients.
  • Assist in developing and presenting investment ideas while mastering the fundamentals of selling and cross-selling the firm's diverse product offerings.
  • Support the execution of trading ideas by conducting thorough analysis and contributing to all aspects of the market-making trade process, including research analytics on trades and relative value analysis.
  • Apply innovative thinking and solutions-based approaches to design both investment and risk management products across multiple asset classes.
  • Analyse market fundamentals by liaising with researchers to develop insightful investment recommendations for internal stakeholders and external clients.
  • Provide comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analytics around client revenue and profitability, helping manage commission dollars efficiently through increased transparency.
  • Manage comprehensive risk for the equity business, including non-market risk, regulatory compliance, counterparty risk, client documentation, and governance responsibilities.
  • Advise internal teams and external clients on risk optimisation strategies while ensuring operational resilience and efficiency across the department.
  • Contribute to business control unit functions by supporting regulatory compliance initiatives and maintaining robust governance standards.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across departments to share knowledge, support collective goals, and foster an inclusive work environment.

What you bring:

The ideal candidate for the Derivatives Sales Analyst position brings proven experience from sales & trading or middle office roles within financial services. Your academic background-preferably in finance, mathematics or engineering-equips you with strong analytical capabilities that are vital for success. You possess deep knowledge of derivatives markets which enables you to contribute meaningfully across product structuring, trade execution analysis, and client advisory functions. Your advanced Excel skills allow you to handle complex data sets efficiently while supporting revenue analytics initiatives.

  • At least one year of related working experience in sales & trading or middle office roles within financial services is required for this position.
  • A degree majoring in finance, mathematics, or engineering is preferred; however, candidates from other academic backgrounds are also welcome if they demonstrate relevant skills.
  • Your ability to remain calm under pressure on the trading floor during long hours will be essential for thriving in this fast-paced environment.
  • A high work ethic combined with a genuine willingness to learn ensures you can adapt quickly to new challenges while contributing positively to team objectives.
  • Being detail-oriented allows you to deliver accurate analyses that inform key decisions across trading activities and client interactions.
  • You are recognised as a dependable team player with strong interpersonal skills who collaborates effectively with colleagues from diverse backgrounds.
  • Demonstrated knowledge in derivatives is absolutely essential for this role; your expertise will underpin your ability to add value across sales and trading functions.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel is required; familiarity with VBA programming is considered an advantage but not mandatory.
  • Your commitment to continuous improvement means you actively seek out training opportunities that enhance your technical abilities and industry knowledge.
  • A polite manner coupled with sensitivity towards others helps foster an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued.

What sets this company apart:
