Job description

A London-based mandate covering the South African market — a separate search from the Geneva role, different institution, different booking centre, different team structure. Both can be explored in parallel for candidates open to either city.

London is a natural hub for South African private wealth — proximity to the diaspora community, strong legal and structuring infrastructure, and a client base that is comfortable with a UK booking centre. The hiring bank has an established South African client base in London and is looking for a senior relationship manager who personally owns HNW and UHNW relationships with South African families, entrepreneurs and business owners.

The right candidate understands South African offshore wealth dynamics — exchange control, SARB compliance, the motivations behind offshore structuring — and holds relationships that have been built over years of trusted personal advisory work rather than institutional proximity. A three-year average portable book of CHF 250M is the minimum threshold.

What You Bring

The profile that succeeds in this mandate.

• 1 Personal ownership of South African HNW and UHNW client relationships managed from London
• 2 Minimum CHF 250M portable book measured over 3-year average
• 3 Understanding of South African offshore wealth, exchange control and cross-border compliance from a UK booking centre
