About This Opportunity
We are retained by one of the world’s most internationally connected private banks to identify exceptional senior private banking talent for its Dubai office.
With over 160 years of heritage across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, this is an institution that has been a part of the region’s financial fabric for generations — not a bank arriving late to the Gulf, but one that helped shape it.
Dubai sits at the intersection of the world’s most dynamic private wealth flows — Middle Eastern, South Asian, African, and beyond — and this institution is uniquely placed to serve clients across all of them.
As part of a full-service global banking group, it gives private clients connectivity to corporate banking, investment banking, and transaction services across dozens of markets worldwide, a depth of capability that no pure-play private bank can match.
*Our client is open to bankers covering any international market and equally welcomes candidates currently based outside Dubai who hold a strong Middle Eastern client book and are prepared to relocate.
A comprehensive relocation package is on offer.*

- One month’s fully funded accommodation on arrival, allowing time to find permanent housing
- Dedicated HR and mobility support throughout the onboarding process
Ideal Candidate Profile
- A minimum of 8–10 years’ private banking or wealth management experience with a proven, portable HNWI and UHNWI client book of USD 300M+ (ED) or USD 500M+ (MD)

- Minimum client ticket size of USD 3–5 million across a predominantly HNWI and UHNWI base
- A stable career history demonstrating long-term client relationships built on genuine trust, discretion, and bespoke advisory
- Dubai-based or genuinely open to relocating, particularly for candidates with a well-established Middle Eastern client book
- International private banking background from a globally recognised institution
- Teams of two or more bankers are actively encouraged — comprehensive commercial arrangements will be structured for team moves
- WHY THIS PLATFORM?
- Dubai is one of the world’s fastest-growing private wealth hubs — and our client is one of very few global private banks with a genuine, generational institutional presence in the region.
- Here is what makes this platform compelling:
- One of the world’s most internationally connected private banks — with an active presence spanning Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, covering more markets than virtually any competitor
- A rare and distinctive emerging market heritage — over 160 years of on-the-ground presence across the world’s fastest-growing wealth corridors, giving relationship managers a genuinely differentiated platform that cannot be replicated
- Unrivalled group connectivity — as part of a full-service global banking group, private clients gain seamless access to corporate banking, investment banking, and transaction services that no pure-play private bank can offer
- A full-spectrum wealth management platform — encompassing discretionary and advisory portfolio management, alternatives, structured products, philanthropy advisory, and comprehensive family office solutions
- An entrepreneurial culture within a truly global institution — autonomy to manage and grow your client relationships your way, backed by world-class infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and specialist investment capabilities
- Genuine open architecture — best-in-class solutions from across the market, not exclusively proprietary products, enabling relationship managers to deliver truly objective, client-first advice
- Deep, generational commitment to Asia, the Middle East, and Africa — markets where this institution has built unrivalled regulatory credibility, institutional trust, and on-the-ground relationships over generations
- An embedded team of specialists — dedicated investment counsellors, product experts, wealth planners, and family office advisors working alongside relationship managers to deliver exceptional, holistic client outcomes
