Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates International Financial Advisor Jobs Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated, commercially driven
Senior Business Development Manager (BDM) or Associate-level professional
to join a boutique, high-margin wealth advisory practice in the UAE focused on premium client acquisition and structured wealth solutions.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Experience Level: Mid-career professional (not overly seasoned or "mature") — ideally with 3–7 years in financial services, preferably in advisory, wealth management, or client-facing roles.
  • Mindset: Eager to learn, open to mentorship, and ready to grow into a senior advisory role.
  • Skills: Exceptional interpersonal and presentation skills — capable of sitting across from clients, building trust, and closing complex deals.
  • Professionalism: Polished, articulate, and client-ready — able to represent the firm at the highest level.
  • Network: Bonus if you bring your own professional network to help expand the client base.

Role & Responsibilities

  • Shadow and eventually co-lead client acquisition and relationship management under direct mentorship.
  • Take ownership of assigned client portfolios as you progress.
  • Collaborate with senior leadership to identify, qualify, and close high-value opportunities.
  • Contribute to the growth of a premium, fee-based advisory practice — not transactional or product-driven.

Why This Role?
This is not a traditional insurance or platform sales role. You'll be working in a
high-yield, high-margin advisory environment
where commissions are substantial and performance-based. Unlike roles at firms like De Vere or Skipton (where fees are often tied to product sales), this is a
true advisory, value-driven model
with significant upside.

Compensation Potential

  • Income: A BDM earning £40,000–£50,000 in a traditional firm could comfortably reach six figures within 12 months in this role — with performance-based commissions and retained client fees.
  • Structure: High commission potential, aligned with client value and deal size — not volume or product.

Ideal Fit

  • Someone who wants to build a long-term career in premium wealth advisory.
  • A proactive, self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, results-driven environment.
  • A professional who sees themselves as a future partner or senior advisor — not just a salesperson.

Next Steps
If you're interested in a role with exceptional income upside, mentorship, and the opportunity to grow into a senior advisory position within a boutique, high-performing team — please apply below.

Please note:
This position would typically suit experienced business development and tele sales type people looking to progress to a more advisory role later. Only candidates in the UAE with existing experience in financial telesales or a client-facing sales role (1+ year minimum experience) will be considered for this role. This position is NOT for someone from the accounting / auditing or financial management profession. This is a client facing, sales and targets driven profession.
