Our Global Private Banking business provides banking, investment, and wealth management solutions to help high net worth clients and their families achieve their ambitions.

• Have direct client contact to confirm investment instructions, relay market and pricing information, and explain trading capabilities.
• Support Investment Counsellors and Relationship Managers, including order entry into Front Office systems.
• Promote execution capabilities internally and to the Private Bank’s client base.
• Collaborate with Back Office and Operations on process improvements and investigate failed trades.

To be successful in this role, you should meet the following requirements:

• Significant experience in trade execution (essential).
• In-depth knowledge of various asset classes, particularly Bonds, FX, and Equities (desirable).
• Private Banking or Wealth Management experience (essential).
• High attention to detail and ability to work under pressure.
• CISI Level 4 qualification or equivalent regulated qualification (essential).

This role is based in London.
