• Ability to generate leads and strategically develop new business, alongside continue to develop business through referrals
• Comfortable dealing with high net worth individuals

• Good soft skills (organised- Excel driven, analytical, flexible, pro-active, creative)
• The ability to keep up to date with market trends and latest financial news.
• Ability to navigate through multiple business sites (not just LinkedIn but business sites, directories).

You will benefit from:

• Leads (alongside ones you generate yourself) through various data sources
• Warm relationships with key strategic partners across the industry
• Unrivalled quarterly events
• Global Skybound incentives for top performers
• Excellent administrative team to assist with business placement, including an internal pension team
