Your key responsibilities will include:

• Developing new relationships with international UHNW individuals, families and entrepreneurs
• Accelerating business development across the Middle East and Europe, with a particular focus on selected strategic markets
• Identifying and developing new markets, partnerships and growth opportunities
• Building a sustainable business development pipeline and converting the existing ecosystem into new client relationships
