Private Banking Jobs in London

Executive Partners supports leading banks, EAMs and family offices in London, one of the world’s deepest hubs for Private Banking & Wealth Management. The UK market blends onshore UHNW/HNW needs with international flows from Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and Asia, creating high demand for seasoned Relationship Managers, Team Heads and Market Leaders.

Strong London profiles demonstrate credible portability, disciplined compliance under FCA standards, and a thoughtful plan for client transition that aligns with UK booking and product realities. Desks value balanced revenue—discretionary mandates and recurring advisory income— as well as a measured approach to growth that preserves client trust.

What makes a strong London RM profile?

• Proven UHNW/HNW coverage (UK onshore, non-dom, international families) with referenceable tenure and stable revenue.
• Portability: realistic wallet share, retention track record, and a transition plan compatible with UK product shelf and governance.
• Multi-product experience: DPM/advisory, Lombard and property lending, structured products, and access to private markets.
• Compliance excellence: FCA conduct, rigorous KYC/AML, and clean documentation—no corners cut.
• Language capability (where relevant): French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Russian or Mandarin for international desks.

Demand is consistent for UK onshore specialists with resilient, multi-year books; EU cross-border coverage with robust governance; and leaders capable of stabilising and scaling multi-market teams.
