The Opportunity

The bank offers a stable Swiss platform with a strong balance sheet, an established private banking heritage, and a broad investment proposition across advisory, discretionary management, structured solutions, alternative investments and digital assets.

This is suited to a senior banker who wants more than just a booking platform. The ideal candidate will be looking for a long term home where they can build, consolidate and grow client assets within a discreet, well capitalised and relationship led environment.

Candidate Profile

• Experience managing UHNW, family office, entrepreneur or international private client relationships

• The ability to originate, retain and develop client assets
• A discreet, mature and commercially credible approach
• The potential appetite for broader responsibility over time

Individual bankers and established teams with a credible asset base will both be considered.

Compensation

Indicative total compensation will sit in the region of CHF 300,000 to CHF 600,000, depending on the banker’s profile, client base, portability of assets and seniority.

All discussions will be handled on a strictly confidential basis through James & Partners.
