Introduction

To provide research, data analysis, market intelligence and client-intelligence support to the Primary Markets asset-class heads. The role’s primary day-to-day focus is to support the Equity Origination Manager and Head of Origination and Deals, while also providing support to Fixed Income and Specialist Securities asset-class heads. The role assists with the development and execution of the broader Primary Markets client engagement strategy by preparing client intelligence, identifying engagement themes, supporting target-client prioritisation, developing meeting preparation materials and tracking agreed origination actions across asset classes. The asset-class heads lead their respective businesses and retain accountability for strategy, budgets, revenue, forecasts, client relationships, product priorities, pipelines and commercial decisions. The role supports these accountabilities by gathering and validating data, analysing business and market drivers, preparing research and decision-support material, maintaining reporting, and providing client and market insights. The role is accountable for the quality, accuracy and timely delivery of assigned support outputs. It does not independently set asset-class strategy, own clients, commit the JSE commercially, approve forecasts or determine product and pipeline priorities.
