Catalyst Equity Sales

An established institutional brokerage is expanding its presence across the Middle East and is seeking an experienced Cash Equity Sales professional to join its Dubai office. This role is focused on building and developing relationships with institutional investors across the region, leveraging a well-established London execution platform to deliver market access, execution services, research, and trading solutions to clients.

The successful candidate will already be based in Dubai and will have a strong background in institutional cash equities, ideally with an existing network of buy-side relationships across the GCC and wider Middle East. You will act as the face of the business in the region, identifying new opportunities, deepening existing client relationships, and helping drive the firm's long-term expansion strategy.

This is not simply a replacement hire. The business is actively investing in regional growth and views Dubai as a strategic market. As one of the early commercial hires in the office, you will have the opportunity to play a significant role in shaping the franchise, influencing growth plans, and establishing yourself as a key stakeholder within a business that has strong ambitions for the region.

The role would suit senior equity sales professionals with experience covering hedge funds, asset managers, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and other institutional investors across the Middle East. Individuals currently working within agency brokers, institutional brokerages, or cash equity platforms who maintain strong client ownership and revenue responsibility are of particular interest.

Key attractions include:

• Opportunity to become a foundational member of a growing Middle East franchise.
• Direct access to senior leadership and decision makers.
• Strong infrastructure and execution capabilities already established in London.
• Ability to sell into an active institutional client base across the region.
• Clear long-term growth story rather than a stand-alone opportunistic hire.
• Scope to increase influence, responsibility, and regional profile as the business expands.

Candidates should have a demonstrable track record in institutional cash equity sales, strong knowledge of equity market dynamics, and established relationships with Middle Eastern clients. Experience selling cash equities is essential, while broader cross-asset exposure would be viewed positively.
