The role will involve: Leading and developing two existing Private Banking teams. Driving the acquisition of new HNW and UHNW client relationships. Leveraging a strong personal network across Geneva's entrepreneurial and wealth ecosystem. Setting a clear commercial ambition and mobilising the teams around it. Developing relationships with entrepreneurs, major families, executives, lawyers, tax advisers, trustees, family offices and other key introducers. Identifying opportunities beyond an existing portfolio and creating new sources of business. Representing the Private Banking franchise within Geneva's senior business and professional community. The profile We are particularly interested in senior Private Bankers with substantial experience in the Geneva financial centre. The ideal candidate will bring: A strong Private Banking background, ideally gained within a universal bank or an institution offering a broad banking platform. A demonstrated track record in acquiring new client relationships and new assets. A genuine hunter mentality and entrepreneurial approach. A strong and established network in Geneva. Deep knowledge of the local economic and professional ecosystem. Credibility with HNW and UHNW clients. Previous experience leading, developing or commercially animating teams of Private Bankers. The seniority and presence to represent a Private Banking franchise with leading Geneva decision-makers. The platform The successful candidate will join an institution with a strong Geneva presence and the ambition to accelerate the development of its Private Banking activities. The platform provides access to a broad range of capabilities, including: discretionary and advisory investment solutions; tailored structured products; financing solutions; wealth and retirement planning; cross-selling opportunities across a broader banking platform; support for entrepreneurs around business transitions, disposals and succession. This represents a distinctive opportunity for a recognised Geneva Private Banker to combine business origination, team leadership and franchise development within an established platform.
