Job Description
DIVISIONAL MANAGING DIRECTOR – FINANCIAL PLANNING
SENIOR EXECUTIVE ROLE | HIGHLY COMPETITIVE PACKAGE | NATIONAL
Leading a large employed financial planning business is one of the most demanding and rewarding roles in our industry. It requires technical credibility, genuine people leadership, commercial drive and an unwavering commitment to doing right by clients, all at the same time. My client, a highly regarded and award-winning wealth management group, is looking for someone who can do exactly that.
If you have built your career in financial planning, moved into senior leadership and found that you are good at it, and if you are looking for a role with real scope and real accountability, then this is worth a conversation.
The role:
* Take full executive responsibility for a large employed financial planning business - its strategy, its people, its performance and its culture
* Drive consistently high standards of advice quality across a sizeable, geographically dispersed adviser workforce
* Ensure the business is fully compliant with FCA requirements including Consumer Duty, and that governance and Training & Competency frameworks are robust and fit for purpose
* Collaborate closely with the wider senior leadership team to ensure your channel is well integrated into the group's broader distribution strategy
* Identify, develop and retain the next generation of leaders within your business, and create an environment where talented financial planners can do their best work for clients
What we're looking for:
* A proven executive leader with a background in regulated financial planning or wealth management
* Chartered Financial Planner status or equivalent - the technical grounding to command genuine respect from experienced advisers. Need to be DipFS as a minimum
* Experience of running or holding significant accountability for a large regulated advice business, with all the operational and regulatory complexity that entails
* Someone who leads with integrity, communicates with clarity and makes sound decisions under pressure
* A track record of building strong teams and developing people, not just managing them
What's on offer:
* A senior executive remuneration package that reflects the seniority and scale of the role
* Genuine influence over the direction of a significant business within a group that is committed to long-term, sustainable growth
* The support of an ambitious, well-resourced organisation with a strong reputation and an excellent track record of looking after its people
If you are ready for a role that will genuinely stretch you and give you the platform to make a lasting impact, then this is the role for you!
