Private Banking Jobs in Singapore
Executive Partners supports leading banks, EAMs and family offices in Singapore, Asia’s most established cross-border hub for Private Banking & Wealth Management. With deep capital flows across ASEAN, Greater China and South Asia, Singapore is a focal point for UHNW/HNW coverage and multi-booking strategies.
Strong Singapore profiles pair credible portability with disciplined conduct under MAS standards and bank governance. Desks value balanced revenue (discretionary mandates and recurring advisory), realistic transition plans, and cross-border fluency across priority corridors.
What makes a strong Singapore RM profile?
- Proven UHNW/HNW coverage (ASEAN/Greater China/South Asia) with referenceable tenure and stable revenue.
- Portability: realistic wallet share, retention track record, and a transition plan aligned to Singapore booking and cross-border rules.
- Multi-product experience: advisory/DPM, Lombard and real-estate financing, structured solutions, and access to private markets.
- Compliance excellence: rigorous KYC/AML, suitability and documentation under MAS-aligned frameworks.
- Language capability depending on desk: Mandarin, Bahasa Indonesia/Melayu, Hindi/Tamil, Thai or Vietnamese can be advantageous.
Hiring themes in Singapore
Demand is consistent for ASEAN coverage with deep networks, Greater China specialists with robust governance, and leaders able to scale multi-market teams. Firms increasingly prize low-noise market behaviour, strong client outcomes, and ethical, sustainable growth.
Relocating to Singapore
Singapore attracts senior bankers from Europe and across APAC. Packages typically include competitive base/bonus and relocation support. We advise on work passes, onboarding, and realistic ramp timelines to align expectations on both sides.
How we work
We map the market discreetly, validate portability, and present actionable shortlists. Candidates move only with consent; clients receive calibrated, compliance-checked profiles aligned to strategy and booking realities. Our Swiss base and Singapore partnerships provide a clear vantage point on APAC hiring dynamics.
