Senior Relationship Manager - International Clients

Our client is a Zurich‑based, entrepreneurial external asset manager that delivers bespoke wealth‑management services to international high‑net‑worth and ultra‑high‑net‑worth individuals. Operating through a flexible platform and strong banking alliances, the firm focuses on a client‑first philosophy and offers tailored solutions across borders. The Senior Relationship Manager will independently oversee an existing portfolio of private international clients while also expanding the book with personal contacts. Acting as a long‑term trusted adviser to families, the role carries full entrepreneurial responsibility for the growth and profitability of each relationship. Daily tasks include spotting additional needs within the current client base, cultivating those opportunities, and sourcing new business through personal networks, referrals, professional intermediaries and targeted outreach. The manager will nurture lasting connections with family offices, external asset managers, lawyers, tax consultants and other advisors, and will coordinate bespoke wealth‑management plans together with portfolio managers, investment specialists, banks and external partners. Maintaining a high standard of service, the manager serves as the primary point of contact, develops market‑specific business development strategies, represents the firm at client meetings and industry events, and stays informed on regulatory, market and geopolitical shifts affecting the clientele. The ideal candidate brings several years of proven experience as a Relationship Manager, Client Advisor or a comparable position within private banking, wealth management or an external asset‑management setting. A demonstrable track record of handling international private clients, together with an existing, transferable client book that shows clear business potential, is essential. The applicant must possess a strong network among HNW/UHNW individuals or relevant professional intermediaries, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a clear commercial drive. Deep expertise in wealth‑management products, investment solutions and financial markets, combined with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, is required to build trusted, long‑term relationships. The role demands the ability to work autonomously while leveraging internal and external specialists, a high degree of integrity and discretion, and solid knowledge of regulatory and compliance matters for cross‑border clients. Fluency in English is mandatory; additional languages are advantageous. Residency in Switzerland or an established professional network there is considered a plus. The position offers considerable entrepreneurial freedom, allowing the manager to shape and grow their own business with a high level of autonomy. Compensation includes attractive revenue participation directly linked to the performance of the client relationships. The firm provides an established EAM platform, experienced team, extensive banking and investment partner network, and a lean, flexible environment that enables swift decision‑making and rapid response to client needs.
