Wealth Planner - Wealth Management

Join us as a Wealth Planner, where you’ll play a key role in helping clients shape their financial future through thoughtful planning and investment advice. You’ll work closely with new and existing clients to understand their long‑term goals and provide bespoke solutions that support their financial and lifestyle needs. Your experience will help clients feel comfortable and informed as they take steps toward what matters most to them.

This role is part of our Wealth Management Business, a growing area for the bank. We’re expanding our ability to support clients with investable assets up to £3 million and help close the Advice Gap in the UK.

Clients benefit from a seamless experience that blends digital channels with adviser support, creating a connected and supportive journey.

You’ll build lasting relationships by listening with care, offering specialist guidance, and delivering planning strategies tailored to each client’s journey. You’ll collaborate with our Wealth Acquisition team to support new client growth and ensure a smooth transition from prospect to invested customer. You’ll also work across teams to provide a seamless and consistent experience.

As a Wealth Planner, you’ll be part of a forward‑thinking environment. You’ll use digital tools and platforms to enhance client engagement and stay connected to market trends. You’ll be encouraged to refine your approach, share ideas, and contribute to a culture that values integrity, inclusion, and high standards. This is more than a role—it’s a chance to make a meaningful impact while growing your knowledge in a supportive and evolving space.

• Broad exposure to the Financial Services industry, especially in retail regulated products and asset management.
• Familiarity with pensions, investment advice, and UK taxation.
• Experience managing risk within a client portfolio.
• Adaptability and curiosity in a fast‑evolving environment.

Accountabilities:

• Management of client relationships to identify the client’s financial goals, challenges, and risk tolerance to support the analysis of data obtained from various sources.
• Research and understanding of the client’s industry trends, regulatory landscape, and competitive environment to inform strategic recommendations.
• Design of customised solutions that address the client’s specific needs and objectives, incorporating a range of products and services from the bank’s portfolio.
• Communication of the value proposition of proposed solutions, justification of recommendations, and negotiation of terms that benefit both the client and the bank.
• Provision of guidance to clients to support their financial decisions, offering expert investment advice, risk management and wealth management strategies support, and updates on market trends.
• Assessment of financial, legal, and operational risks associated with client relationships, and implementation of measures to minimise potential losses.
• Documentation of all client interactions, transactions, and agreements to ensure transparency and auditability, and to communicate findings effectively to support product development and bank strategy.
