Responsibilities

The Moody’s Sales Rotation Program is a two-year rotation program experience that enables recent graduates to continue developing their commercial skills while learning our business and identifying their preferred career path. The program consists of four six-month rotations, in either New York or London (hybrid in the office 3 days/week in both locations). Assignments provide exposure across various Moody’s Operating Units and Lines of Business, offering participants a broad set of experiences and opportunities within our firm. As participants progress through their rotations, they build a solid foundation to become future leaders of the company. Throughout the 2-year program, participants are encouraged to explore their assignment preferences and try new things in each rotation. These preferences are taken into account when final placements are made at the end of the program, along with the needs of our business. Participants develop their skills through classroom training, on-the-job learning, and by receiving structured feedback and support from local mentors and a dedicated Program Manager. Participants enter the program together with a cohort, providing a community to connect with starting on their first day.

Rotation assignments vary in terms of the commercial and sales operational skills required, but participants will have assignments in Sales Operations, Customer Engagement/Client Support, Marketing, and Sales Development Representative areas. Program participants will receive a final placement within our commercial organization upon completion of the program.

Typical responsibilities for participants in the program may include, but are certainly not limited to:

• Sales Operations: Assist with the contracting process for renewals and new business, including understanding the business needs, drafting contracts, and ensuring that terms and license parameters meet the client and sales team needs while complying with organizational standards and protocol. Assist with RFP requests, coordinating across multiple teams to capture relevant information in a timely manner.
• Client Support: Manage client service inquiries via phone, email, and chat in a courteous, professional, accurate, and timely manner. Develop excellent working relationships with colleagues across Customer Engagement, Sales, Product Management, Data, Research, and the broader organization.
• Marketing: Assist with events and campaigns, working with different Operating Units and Sales to drive the pipeline. Create content for campaigns and external, customer-facing communications. Generate reports and analytics for marketing insights.
