About the role
Luma is seeking a Relationship Manager to serve as the day to day partner for our client franchise across Latin America. This is a buy-side coverage role: your clients are the private banks, broker/dealers, multi-family offices, independent advisory firms, and institutional desks that use Luma to research, price, trade, and manage products.
The primary focus of this role is Luma’s existing client base: ensuring client success and partnering with each desk on enhancing their platform experience. Alongside that, the role supports the firm’s growth initiatives. Working with our sales and investment products teams, you will help new institutions adopt the platform for end-to-end structured products creation, distribution, and lifecycle tracking, and support Luma’s expansion into new markets and new product lines including asset management products and OTC derivatives.
Successful candidates bring structured products expertise, established relationships across the Latin American market, and the credibility to be effective in a commercial, product, and platform conversations.
