About The Position

Junior Equity Salesperson – San Francisco We are seeking a Junior Equity Salesperson to join our Equity Research Sales team in San Francisco. While part of a large, global equities platform, this role is based in a small, entrepreneurial office on the West Coast. The successful candidate will need to be highly independent, proactive, and self-driven, with the ability to take initiative while staying connected to colleagues in New York and other global hubs. This role offers the best of both worlds: the resources of a leading global research sales platform and the hands-on experience of a smaller office, where you’ll gain early responsibility and visibility.
