Job Description
INVESTMENT MANAGER – DIRECTOR LEVEL
UP TO £125,000 BASIC + PERFORMANCE BONUS | BIRMINGHAM | LEADING WEALTH MANAGER
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for an experienced Investment Manager to join one of the UK's most respected wealth management businesses in their Birmingham office. My client is looking for a Director-level individual to take on and develop a high-quality book of HNW private client relationships, with real scope to build something significant over the coming years.
If you are the kind of investment professional who loves both the craft of managing money and the commercial side of growing a client base; someone who is energised by networking, building introducer relationships, and winning new business - this could be a very compelling next step.
The role:
* Take on responsibility for an established portfolio of high-net-worth private clients, delivering a first-class, personalised investment management service
* Actively build and develop the client book through professional introducers, networking events, seminars, and referrals, bringing a clear and considered approach to business development
* Work collaboratively with colleagues across financial planning, tax, and other disciplines to deliver joined-up wealth management solutions
* Contribute to the growth and profile of the Birmingham office, acting as a credible and visible ambassador for the business in the local market
What we're looking for:
* An experienced Investment Manager operating at or ready for Director level, with a strong track record of managing HNW private client portfolios
* A background working with charities and trustee clients would be a real advantage, though strong general HNW private client experience is equally welcome
* A genuine appetite for business development, someone who enjoys this part of the role and can articulate a credible plan for how they would grow a client base
* Strong relationship-building skills and the confidence to represent the business externally with professional introducers and at industry events
* Relevant professional qualifications are ideally CFA, CISI Level 7, or equivalent
What's on offer:
* Basic salary of up to £125,000 depending on experience
* Discretionary performance-related bonus
* The opportunity to join a highly regarded, well-resourced wealth management business with a strong national presence and a genuinely collegiate culture
* Real scope to build and shape your own client portfolio within a supportive and ambitious team environment
This is a role for someone who takes real pride in both the quality of their investment work and the strength of their client relationships, and who is ready to back themselves to grow something they can be proud of.
