Job description

About Us

Skybound Wealth Management is a global financial advisory firm with offices across the UK, USA, Cyprus, Spain, Switzerland and UAE. We deliver bespoke advice to internationally mobile clients, supported by specialist teams in financial planning, wealth creation, investment management and tax planning.

As an award-winning, multi-regulated business, Skybound is uniquely positioned to support complex client needs across borders. Our advice-led model is underpinned by cutting-edge technology, integrated client systems, and deep expertise in international lifestyles, income structures, and asset ownership.

Mortgages are a critical pillar of a financial plan and we intend to build this into a dedicated division within our client proposition, supporting everything from first UK purchases to complex buy-to-let portfolios and expat property strategies.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Senior Mortgage Adviser to act as the key focal point for all mortgage advice within the group.

You will have full responsibility for UK residential and buy-to-let mortgage advice, serving both UK residents and expatriates, including complex income structures, foreign currency earnings, overseas assets, and portfolio landlords.

You will be the authority for mortgage advice within the business and create reciprocal referral arrangements with our network of 70 Private Wealth Advisers across the group. In addition, we will lean on you to develop an effective panel of mortgage lenders.

Key Responsibilities

• Become the go-to for UK residential, Buy to Let, expat and non-standard lending across the group
• Drive commercial growth through adviser referrals, partnerships, and strategic initiatives
• Take full ownership of Skybound’s mortgage strategy at Group level
• Handle and structure cases involving overseas income, multiple jurisdictions, and portfolio lending
• Establish and maintain senior lender relationships, negotiating terms where needed
• Embed mortgages into adviser workflows as a natural part of long-term financial planning, not just a bolt-on
• Design and launch a best-in-class UK mortgage proposition integrated into our wider wealth advice model
• Set the technical, commercial, and regulatory standard for all mortgage activity
• Ensure robust FCA compliance, governance, and documentation standards are met
• Contribute to marketing, thought leadership, and client education around property finance

Desired Skills and Experience

• CeMAP or equivalent qualification is essential
• UK Level 4 or other wealth management qualification would be beneficial
• An experienced senior mortgage professional who might have outgrown a narrow brokerage environment
• Comfortable dealing with complex cases and high-value clients
• Commercially minded, but advice-led
• An individual seeking ownership, visibility, and long-term influence with high-net-worth or internationally mobile clients is highly advantageous

Why Join Skybound?

• Leadership role: Shape and lead a Group-wide mortgage proposition within a growing international business.
• Integrated advice model: Work alongside wealth advisers, international specialists, and private client teams.
• Global platform: Support UK and expat clients backed by a multi-jurisdictional advisory firm.
• Technology-led: Benefit from Salesforce, integrated advice systems, and data-driven client insights.
• Growth-focused: Clear mandate to build, scale, and innovate within the mortgage function
• Supportive infrastructure: In-house compliance, marketing, and operations teams to enable high-quality advice.
• Career progression: A visible role with long-term growth and strategic influence.

Skybound Wealth UK is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of background.
