At Julius Baer, we celebrate and value the individual qualities you bring, enabling you to be impactful, to be entrepreneurial, to be empowered, and to create value beyond wealth. Let’s shape the future of wealth management together.
In addition to the Assistant Relationship Manager (ARM) Private Banking role profile, the Account Manager Private Banking (AM PB) takes ownership of account administration, documentation formalities, and tasks in daily operations and projects impacting account administration. Unlike the Relationship Manager (RM), the AM PB does not have an own client book. The AM PB reaches out to clients where appropriate in close collaboration with the RM. He/she demonstrates excellent professional, personal, and social skills when liaising with clients and the RM. The AM PB ensures operational client account management and interacts with internal and external stakeholders independently, providing clients with relevant information and supporting the RM in implementing customized solutions. Furthermore, the AM PB acts as a role model in delivering the best service quality to clients, RMs, and Team Heads (THs) in a fast, professional, and friendly manner, always embodying Julius Baer values (Care, Passion, and Excellence), thereby helping the team to manage and grow its current client base. He/she channels client feedback to relevant departments within the Bank to foster continuous improvement and rapid process adaptation. The AM PB shows professional commitment to excellent account administration for clients and the Bank and is willing to go the extra mile.
