This role is designed for a commercially minded and technically credible salesperson who already possesses a strong foundation in credit derivatives, an existing network of institutional client relationships, and the ability to independently manage and grow client coverage. This is not a trainee or “step-up” opportunity. The successful candidate must be capable of contributing to the business immediately through existing market knowledge, relevant client connectivity, and the ability to originate and execute business within the credit derivatives landscape from day one. The platform has a strong existing credit business and continues to invest meaningfully in expanding client coverage and product penetration. As part of a lean and growing team, the individual will receive significant visibility across senior leadership, trading, structuring, and key institutional clients, with the opportunity to materially influence the growth trajectory of the franchise. Key Responsibilities Develop, manage, and expand relationships with institutional clients across credit derivatives products. Originate and execute flow and structured credit derivatives transactions across a broad range of client types, including asset managers, hedge funds, insurance companies, pension funds, and other institutional investors. Work closely with trading and structuring teams to deliver solutions tailored to client objectives and market conditions. Identify opportunities to deepen wallet share with existing clients while proactively onboarding and developing new relationships onto the platform. Maintain a strong understanding of market dynamics, relative value opportunities, and competitive positioning within the credit derivatives landscape. Independently manage day-to-day client dialogue, commercial negotiations, and strategic account development. Contribute to broader franchise growth initiatives, including cross-selling opportunities and strategic client targeting efforts. Operate with a high degree of commercial judgment, risk awareness, and professionalism within a fast-paced markets environment. Required Qualifications Significant experience within Credit Derivatives Sales at a recognized investment bank or institutional platform. Strong technical understanding of credit derivatives products and market structure, including CDS, index products, and broader credit solutions. Existing institutional client relationships and demonstrated ability to generate business through established coverage. Proven ability to independently manage sophisticated client relationships and commercial conversations. Strong understanding of the institutional client landscape and competitive dynamics within credit markets. Demonstrated track record of business generation, client development, and revenue contribution. Ability to work collaboratively across sales, trading, structuring, and management teams. Excellent communication skills, commercial instincts, and relationship management capabilities. Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is a credible and market-facing credit derivatives professional who can immediately add value through both technical expertise and client connectivity. This individual should be entrepreneurial, commercially driven, and motivated by the opportunity to help grow an expanding franchise while benefiting from the visibility and responsibility that comes with joining a scaling platform. Candidates without direct and meaningful credit derivatives sales experience, relevant product expertise, and institutional client relationships will not be considered. The expected base salary ranges from $150,000- $250,000. Salary offers are based on a wide range of factors including relevant skills, training, experience, education, and, where applicable, certifications and licenses obtained. Market and organizational factors are also considered. In addition to salary and a generous employee benefits package, successful candidates are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus. #LI-Onsite Other requirements Mizuho has in place a hybrid working program, with varying opportunities for remote work depending on the nature of the role, needs of your department, as well as local laws and regulatory obligations.
