The front office of an investment bank consists of three primary divisions: sales and trading, investment banking and research.

Investment Banking Opportunities
Investment banking as a sector continues to expand as a result of some notable forthcoming challenges including evolving financial regulations, a shift to remote working arrangements and rapid technology advances. Combined with the emergence of new financial products, investment banks will need to adapt their operational frameworks and retool their business models. This changing landscape opens a world of opportunities for suitable candidates with highly desirable positions available across our sizeable client base which includes:
Global Investment Banks
Our investment banking recruitment team works closely with some of the biggest global investment banks including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and BNP Paribas. They offer greater earning potential, excellent promotion prospects and a sound overall learning experience.
Large Australian Institutional Banks
There can be no questioning the power and strength of the big four banks in Australia. The financial system remains robust and banks continue to have strong capital positions. The level of technical skills required for many of their roles translate to generous salaries and they also provide excellent pathways for graduate candidates.
CFD Providers
Contracts for Difference (CFDs) are a relatively new financial instrument which have experienced exponential growth since emerging at the turn of the century. Using a technological advanced platform that is accessible on a range of devices users are able to access and trade global financial markets within seconds. Their rapid rise has been accompanied by lucrative opportunities for candidates with investment banking experience.
Other
There are additional opportunities within other specific sectors including proprietary trading companies, boutique broking and advisory businesses, market makers, private equity firms, venture capital firms and data providers to name a few.
