This newly established bank is looking to hire an experienced Head of Asset Manager to lead this process within the bank.  You will have a blue chip track record in asset management although you may well have obtained this experience in a boutique investment house.

You will be an experienced advisor who enjoys building up long term relationships with clients.  You will not be a product salesman but you must enjoy the client side of this role.

In addition you will have a global understanding of the investment market place and have the ability to establish excellent relationships with third party product advisors.

We are looking for an individual who has the credibility to establish himself, his team and the bank as a trusted advisor to UHNWs in the Middle East.  You will not be expected to act as a salesman either in identifying clients or pushing products as the organisation wishes to be considered an advisor to its clients; however a commercial outlook would be beneficial.

The bank is a recent start up backed by a multitude of first class institutions. The existing management team is a multi national team with considerable experience.

This role is a senior role within the Bank and is seen as critical to the development of the organisation.  You will therefore interact very closely with the CEO and the remaining senior executives of the organisation and have a considerable impact on the establishment of the organisation.

The position is based in Bahrain which offers a very pleasant unrestricted lifestyle and excellent weather for most of the year.  Bahrain offers excellent international schools and has a wide range of sporting facilities to suit most tastes.

The salary and remuneration in Bahrain are tax free.  Benefits include excellent housing, car allowance, education allowance and annual flights home for the family.
