Job description

International Opportunity: This role welcomes UK-qualified financial advisors (DipPFS, CISI Level 4, CFP) from the UK, Europe, and global financial hubs. Remote work options available for qualified candidates.

If you’re a UK-qualified wealth professional who knows you’re capable of more — more income, more opportunity, more international exposure — this may be the role that finally delivers it.

One of our new UAE-based wealth management clients is expanding rapidly and is now seeking a Hybrid BDM / Junior Wealth Manager to join their Dubai operation. This is not a back-office role. This is a front-line, client-facing wealth position for someone who wants to build something meaningful — and be rewarded properly for it.

The Opportunity • Based in Dubai (UAE) — with flexibility for the right candidate — this hybrid role sits at the intersection of business development and wealth management.

You’ll be working with:

• UK-qualified professionals and HNW clients
• A growing international client base across the Gulf region
• A broad and modern solution set — not just vanilla regulated products

In addition to regulated advice, the firm offers access to:

• Private Equity opportunities
• Venture Capital solutions
• Alternative investments that are seeing significant demand from sophisticated investors right now

This gives you real conversations to have with real clients — and real earning potential.

Who This Role Is For:

We are looking for a go-getter — someone who:

• ideally holds UK financial qualifications
• Is confident, professional, and strong in client-facing situations
• Ideally already has some form of client bank or portable relationships
• Is not afraid to go out, network, present, and sell
• Wants to grow into a senior wealth role

What’s on Offer:

• Base salary: £2,000 – £2,500 per month for the first 3 months
• Thereafter: Retainer + commissions
• Leads: Potential leads provided (performance-based)
• Earnings: Realistic six-figure income in Year One
• Location: Dubai / UAE (flexible for exceptional candidates)

Why This Role Is Different:

• Build long-term client relationships
• Work with international capital
• Access solutions clients are actively asking for
• Position yourself for serious wealth and career progression
