The Origination team is responsible for securing mandates from issuers such as banks and insurers within the FIG segment globally as well as from SSA clients, supporting as well as advising them throughout issuing debt capital.

Our scope of work comprises the coordination of the entire issuance process, from preparatory marketing activities to managing work streams between legal advisors, research, bond syndicate, and fixed income sales teams placing the transaction.

Your Background:

  • Ongoing studies at a university or university of applied sciences, with a focus on economics, business administration, mathematics, or a related field
  • Strong interest in capital markets, particularly fixed income
  • Basic understanding of DCM, rates, and macroeconomics is beneficial
  • Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills; knowledge of VBA is an advantage
