The Role
There is no better way to experience what a career at MarketAxess has to offer than through our 9-week internship programme.
This is a full-time paid internship to begin on 2 June and conclude on 1 August 2025.
How You’ll Take Us There
As a Sales Intern, you will work alongside Sales Relationship Managers to gain an understanding of the Fixed Income market structure (both buy and sell side) and MarketAxess as a business. You will be exposed to and guided through all levels of the firm to ensure that your sales skills can be applied to selling MarketAxess’ suite of products, and the business, in the most elevated manner. You will be trained on how to manage the full life cycle of new clients – from prospecting, to onboarding, to training new users, to post execution analytics. You will be encouraged to be a vocal contributor to product development, client prospecting and strategy. A hunger to ensure that existing business is maintained and a keen eye for growth opportunities, by seeking out opportunities to increase efficiency during data analysis and further ways to arm sales and clients with the necessary tools, will be a key attribute for the candidate.
