Client Financial Advisor – Dubai

Job Summary

Our client is the Middle East’s only certified fiduciary, CII Chartered and fee-only wealth management firm.

This is a rare opportunity for a qualified financial planner to step into a pure advisory role, inheriting an existing client portfolio with no requirement to generate new business.

You will focus entirely on delivering high-quality financial planning, building long-term relationships, and improving client outcomes.

The Role

This is not a cold-start or sales-driven position.

You will be provided with a well-established, high-quality client book and will be responsible for:

• Delivering ongoing financial planning and advice
• Managing and developing long-term client relationships
• Reviewing and optimising client strategies over time
• Acting as a trusted adviser focused on client outcomes
• Maintaining high standards of compliance and professionalism

There are no expectations to generate new business. Performance is measured on client retention, satisfaction, and quality of advice.

Why This Role Stands Out

Most international wealth management roles are commission-based and sales-driven.

This opportunity offers:

• Fee-based, salaried structure
• No commission or sales targets
• Fully aligned, client-first advice model
• Long-term, relationship-driven work

You will operate as a professional adviser, not a product salesperson.

• Ideally Chartered or working towards Chartered status
• Minimum 3 years’ client-facing experience in wealth management
• Academically strong, with a structured and disciplined approach
• Professional, ethical, and client-focused

Backgrounds that often align well include:

• UK-trained financial planners
• Individuals from structured or high-performance environments (e.g. military, professional services)
• Candidates seeking long-term career development rather than short-term earnings
