Job description

Our client is a boutique luxury investment house specializing in rare and fine wines as long term financial assets. The firm curates exceptional vintages for wealth preservation, portfolio diversification, and legacy building, delivering a discreet, white glove experience to Ultra High Net Worth Individuals worldwide.

With secure storage facilities in Bordeaux, a global network of elite collectors, and operational hubs in Beirut (technology and logistics) and Geneva (legal and regulatory), the company blends investment discipline with the highest standards of luxury service. Clients benefit from privileged access to world class vineyards, private tastings, immersive experiences, and bespoke advisory services.

The Role

This is not a traditional sales position.

The firm is seeking a highly connected, credible, and sophisticated commercial leader to develop and manage UHNW client relationships, with a primary focus on the UAE market. The role is advisory in nature, centered on trust, discretion, and long term portfolio building rather than transactional sales.

You will act as a trusted advisor to UHNW individuals, family offices, and intermediaries, guiding them in building wine investment portfolios as part of a broader wealth diversification and legacy strategy.

Key Responsibilities

Client Acquisition and Relationship Development

• Identify, approach, and engage UHNW individuals, family offices, private banks, and trusted intermediaries, primarily within the UAE.
• Leverage an established personal network in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider GCC to build a high value client portfolio.
• Develop long‑term client relationships based on credibility, discretion, and advisory depth.
• Host and curate exclusive client experiences, including private tastings, invitation‑only events, and bespoke multi‑day tours in Bordeaux.

Advisory and Portfolio Curation

• Advise clients on building and managing wine investment portfolios aligned with capital preservation and long‑term value creation.
• Present investment opportunities supported by market data, rarity, provenance, and appreciation potential.
• Deliver a concierge‑level service with exceptional standards of follow‑up, confidentiality, and personalization.

Brand Ambassadorship and Partnerships

• Represent the firm within the UAE luxury, investment, and private wealth ecosystem.
• Build strategic partnerships with private banks, family offices, private member clubs, luxury brands, and real estate networks.
• Strengthen the firm’s positioning as a trusted reference in alternative luxury investments.

Ideal Profile

• Fluent in English is mandatory, Arabic + French is a strong advantage.
• Proven experience working with UHNW or HNW clients in the UAE, within private banking, wealth management, exclusive real estate, luxury retail, private clubs, or similar high‑trust environments.
• Strong personal network of UHNW principals, family offices, or key influencers in the UAE.
• Advisory mindset with the ability to establish credibility quickly and manage complex, high‑value relationships.
• Polished communication style, strong emotional intelligence, and natural ambassadorial presence.
• Genuine interest in fine wines, luxury collectibles, or alternative investments, full training provided.
• Entrepreneurial, resilient, and comfortable operating autonomously in a performance‑driven environment.

If you operate naturally within UHNW circles in the UAE and are motivated by long‑term relationships, credibility, and excellence, this role offers a rare opportunity to position yourself at the crossroads of luxury, investment, and advisory.
