Headquartered in London, with offices in Paris, Munich and New York the bank offers unique sector led market intelligence, financial and consulting advice to our clients in large to mid to small cap companies.
Our vision:
As the banking landscape evolves, notably with the implementation of MIFID II, the company is evolving to match new client needs and is looking for a dynamic Commercial Director to help grow the Corporate Research business so that we maintain our unique position as Europe’s leading full-service investment bank.
Our objective is to continue to build on this approach while paying increasing attention to the small and mid-cap universe where the impact from recent reforms has been the strongest.

We also host events with policy-makers and their advisors to help our clients better understand regulatory and legal issues and initiatives that may affect their investment decisions.
Job description:
The Commercial Director / Corporate Research will be responsible for identifying listed companies interested in benefiting from Bryan, Garnier & Co’s services in terms of stock market monitoring, meetings with investors and various stock market and financial advice.

- Marketing, origination and management of corporate research contracts with new and existing clients.
- Presentations: prepare and manage pitches for prospect presentation.
- Research and documentation: regular reports about market performance for the key stocks followed and less regular but more in-depth summaries to illustrate BG’s investment in each of the verticals.
- Management responsibilities if the first phase of implementation and deployment is successfully achieved i.e. the recruitment of 1 or 2 junior individuals over time.
Candidate profile:
Our growth and future success is built upon the intelligence, talent, dedication, and personalities of our team members. We are committed to professional excellence and to the people who make it happen. We invest in individuals because we believe and trust in their ability to flourish in our partnership and the culture of our firm. Our role is to broaden their shoulders, to encourage their creative thinking and to be the best they can be at what they do.

- very strong commercial ability
- good communication, interpersonal skills and comfortable in working with senior management (including C-level)
- understands the banking ecosystem
- learns quickly, adaptable and can fully embrace the company DNA
