Outstanding, clear articulate English communication skills, both verbal and written, are the most important attributes of the successful candidates.

You will be working alongside a team of appointed Financial Advisers and your main job will be to help them to secure qualified appointments (meetings) through extensive networking and area-based client research.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Previous experience in a Business Development Manager role dealing specifically with Swiss residents and clientele, preferably in financial services
