About Us
MarketAxess is on a journey to digitally transform one of the world’s largest financial markets, enabling the shift from analog, phone-based trading to a fully electronic marketplace. Why does this matter? Because our platform makes trading fixed-income more accessible, ultimately improving transparency, efficiency, and competition in the marketplace. Changing the way an established industry transacts is no easy feat. There will be twists and turns, because no one’s ever done this before. But now, more than 2,000 clients around the world rely on our solutions, and that number is only expected to grow in the years ahead. We know where we’re going. How we get there is up to us. Join us and help Take Us There.
The Role
This is a full-time paid internship to begin on 2 June and conclude on 1 August 2025.
How You’ll Take Us There
As a Sales Intern, you will work alongside Sales Relationship Managers to gain an understanding of the Fixed Income market structure (both buy and sell side) and MarketAxess as a business. You will be exposed to and guided through all levels of the firm to ensure that your sales skills can be applied to selling MarketAxess’ suite of products, and the business, in the most elevated manner. You will be trained on how to manage the full life cycle of new clients – from prospecting, to onboarding, to training new users, to post execution analytics. You will be encouraged to be a vocal contributor to product development, client prospecting and strategy. A hunger to ensure that existing business is maintained and a keen eye for growth opportunities, by seeking out opportunities to increase efficiency during data analysis and further ways to arm sales and clients with the necessary tools, will be a key attribute for the candidate.
