SALES

Hello, my name is Charlotte, I have been working at Societe Generale for 13 years in the Market Activities Department. After my studies, I started with a V.I.E. for a year in New York which led me to the trading floor in Paris and I never left.

My job is to create customized savings products with different risk and return levels that we will sell to our partners, insurance companies, private banks, banking networks, etc.

We have a real impact, particulary through innovation. Innovation is going to enable us to offer our clients the best risk/return ratio and also be able to create new themes to enable them to diversify their savings. For some years now, we have been taking ESG criteria into account in building our offer and thus enable our clients to have a responsible savings behavior.

I'm sales, so I would say above all good interpersonal skills. I have to be a good listener in order to understand the clients' needs and desires and keep in mind that the priority is their satisfaction in the long term.

In Paris, I work in the largest trading room in Europe. To give you an idea, you need to know that each tray is the size of two soccer fields and that all the participants involved in a given operation are on this tray. There are the sales, engineers, marketing, legal, obviously, I'm forgetting some. And that allows us to be ultra-reactive, very agile, and this is key to being innovative.

In addition, many actions are being taken to ensure more diversity within the teams. For example, there is a task force called Women in MARK, and our job is to attract female talents and also to change mentalities.

Within the Societe Generale group, it is possible to work for an insurance company, for a banking network, at Boursorama, to work towards car leasing. So it's very diverse. And if you add to that the fact that we are present in 66 countries, it offerts a multitude of opportunities and it is possible to have several professional lives within the Group.
