• Build a pipeline through referral, networking and introducer relationships
• Act as trusted adviser and escalation point for complex client queries
• Work closely with Paraplanners and Client Executives on case management
• Mentor junior planners and support the team's wider strategy and growth

What you'll need:

• Diploma in Financial Planning (or equivalent) — essential
• Proven experience advising high-value clients in a regulated environment
• Strong knowledge of FCA regulations and compliance requirements
• A track record on complex tax, retirement and estate planning cases

• Up to £98,000 basic salary, depending on experience
• Discretionary bonus of up to 30% of salary, based on a balanced scorecard
• A ready-made portfolio, largely warm introductions from the firm's own network
