This could include attending events, being active in local business and communities, following up leads, explaining the Wealth division’s services to potential new clients and developing relationships with professional connections. 

Working closely with our local Regional Directors, you will help to develop the growth plans of the region, contributing to the overall plan and helping to develop new opportunities.  

You’ll absorb and assimilate the latest developments in financial services, the financial markets and economic trends and will provide input into our proposition, service, and colleague development initiatives. Ensuring that all advice is provided within a strict ethical and compliance framework is essential, as is putting clients at the heart of our business.

You'll need to have a strong level of technical and product knowledge, and will be an expert in client relationships and service excellence.
