Alongside Primary- and Secondary Markets teams, the Liquidity Solutions Team connects clients, internal partner teams, and external ETF ecosystem participants. This is a client-facing role at the intersection of markets, content, and innovation. You will deliver high-quality trading guidance and education, build trusted relationships across the ecosystem, and help position the ETF wrapper beyond traditional use cases. We are looking for someone who can operate independently, thinks like an owner, and combines deep market curiosity with the ability to produce compelling, client-ready content. Key Responsibilities Own and drive client engagement across EMEA, delivering expert ETF trading, liquidity, and market-structure guidance to end clients and internal Sales partners. Create high-quality, differentiated content — pre-trade analyses, post-trade case studies, ecosystem & market-insights pieces — for clients, ecosystem partners, and internal teams. Explore and develop applications of the ETF wrapper as a financial instrument, including ETF options, lending, collateral, and algorithmic execution strategies. Educate external and internal stakeholders on ETF ecosystem topics, trading best practices, and emerging liquidity themes — positioning iShares as the go-to products. Disseminate real-time market intelligence and liquidity insights across the Sales teams to sharpen commercial conversations. Leverage technology to scale coverage, streamline workflows, and enhance the quality and speed of content delivery. Attributes Independent, self-motivated, and confident — comfortable taking ownership and driving outcomes. Intellectually curious — drawn to exploring new angles, challenging status quo, and identifying untapped opportunities. Strong communicator who can distill complex technical topics into clear, actionable insight — whether in writing, on a call, or in front of an audience. Analytical and rigorous, with strong critical thinking skills and attention to detail. Collaborative and adaptable — thrives in a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment while managing competing priorities.
