Recruitment Legends is recruiting a Senior Institutional Equity Sales Trader for Johannesburg, with applications closing on 28 December 2026. This is a senior front-office role for an established equity sales professional who already has an institutional client network and a proven record of generating commission flow.
About the company and the work
The role sits with a South African, black-owned institutional stockbroking business. The firm gives institutional investors execution services, market intelligence and access to South African and Frontier African equity markets, and it is built on relationships, execution excellence and developing the next generation of market professionals. The trader’s purpose is to develop and grow institutional client relationships while generating execution flow across those markets.
Role details and duties
The work includes using at least five years of institutional equity sales experience to drive business growth; developing and growing institutional client relationships; generating execution flow across South African and Frontier African markets; winning new institutional mandates; providing market intelligence and corporate access; working with research and trading teams; maintaining regulatory compliance; and representing the firm professionally.
Requirements
The advert asks for a minimum of five years of institutional equity sales experience, established institutional client relationships, proven brokerage revenue generation, strong knowledge of JSE market structure and excellent communication skills. A relevant Finance or Commerce qualification is preferred rather than stated as a strict requirement, so applicants without that qualification should still check the original advert before deciding.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on Careers24 by Recruitment Legends, and the Apply button on this page takes you to the original advert, where you can submit your application. Apply only through that original advert, and be wary of anyone asking for payment to process an application.
Practical tips
Show your institutional equity sales track record clearly on your CV, including mandates won and revenue generated where you can share those figures, and highlight your knowledge of JSE market structure and your existing institutional relationships. Keep client details confidential where you are bound to do so, and be ready to talk through how you build and keep long-term institutional relationships.
