Who we are looking for
Currenex - part of State Street Digitals' suite of electronic trading solutions known collectively as 'GlobalLink FX' - is an award-winning provider of high-performance trading technologies to the FX community.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual to join the GlobalLink FX EMEA business as a junior member of the Relationship Management team. Whilst the successful candidate will be joining a supportive team and will receive extensive training, the role is very much a 'hands on' position and they will be expected to immediately and positively impact the Currenex business.

A Successful candidate's duties will include:
  • Working with the EMEA team and, where appropriate, the global team to implement and monitor the Currenex strategic client plan and successfully achieve an assigned revenue budget while contributing to the broader GlobalLink goals and initiatives.

  • Collaborate with other sales teams in GlobalLink to identify cross-selling opportunities, adhere to best practices and ensure coordinated communication is delivered to clients. Maintain effective and productive relationships across the product groups.
  • Be a brand ambassador at conferences and industry conventions to understand market infrastructure and generate new business opportunities.
