Description du poste

Overview

Hoxton Wealth is building a global, adviser-first wealth management platform designed for internationally mobile and financially complex clients.

With ~$4bn AUM today and a clear ambition to reach $20bn by 2030, we are now hiring a Chief Investment Officer to own, build, and scale our global investment proposition.

This is not a maintenance role.

This is a build-and-lead role.

About Hoxton Wealth

We exist to deliver financial clarity clients can act on.

We are:

• People-first
• Global by design, regulated by necessity
• Technology-led with proprietary systems
• Integrated across planning, investments, tax, and legal

Our advisers are our first clients.

If we get the adviser experience right, client outcomes follow.

The Role

As CIO, you will take full ownership of Hoxton’s global investment proposition.

You will:

• Lead strategy, governance, communication, and execution
• Build and develop a high-calibre investment team
• Evolve a proposition that is scalable, explainable, and governable
• Support advisers globally with clarity and conviction

Initially, you will inherit a small, capable team and a working (but unfinished) proposition. Your role is to raise the standard and scale it globally.

Key Responsibilities

Investment Proposition

• Design and evolve global model portfolios and multi-asset strategies
• Balance flexibility and choice without creating complexity or chaos
• Maintain a coherent, disciplined, and scalable investment framework

Governance & Regulation

• Operate confidently across UK, DIFC/UAE, EU, US, Australia, and Asia
• Own investment governance, oversight, documentation, and auditability
• Translate investment thinking into clear, client-ready language
• Equip advisers with materials they actually use
• Be present in difficult markets and key client conversations

Leadership & Team Build

• Lead, develop, and expand the investment function
• Set standards, create accountability, and remove bottlenecks
• Build a high-performance, ego-free culture

External Managers & Partners

• Select, challenge, and remove providers where necessary
• Build in-house capability where it strengthens the platform

Strategic Evolution

• Bring new ideas (private markets, innovation, technology, AI)
• Work closely with Product, Tech, Marketing, and Leadership
• Continuously raise the bar as the firm scales

Non-Negotiables

This is a senior leadership role. We are not training someone into it.

You must have:

• 10–15 years experience in wealth / asset management or related fields
• 5+ years of genuine people leadership experience
• Proven accountability for investment outcomes, not just process
• Strong experience operating in regulated environments
• Advanced investment qualifications (CFA, Level 7, or equivalent)
• The ability to write clearly and communicate complex ideas simply

Who Thrives Here

You will succeed at Hoxton if you are:

• Growth-minded and obsessed with improvement
• Hard-working — this is a build-and-compound business
• Ego-free, direct, and team-first
• Comfortable building while running
• Passionate about investing (genuinely)

If you need certainty, narrow role boundaries, or a finished machine — this is not for you.

Location & Travel

• Based initially in Dubai
• Regular travel across the UK, Middle East, Asia, US, and Australia.
• This is not a desk-only role

What’s In It For You

• Career-defining opportunity
• Ownership of a global investment platform
• Competitive senior-level salary package
• Performance-based bonus with clear KPIs
• LTIP and potential equity participation
• Visa, medical cover, end-of-service benefits
• Support for further professional qualifications

This role is about building what comes next, not maintaining what exists.

If you want to own, shape, and scale a global investment proposition inside a fast-growing advice business — we want to hear from you.
