SENIOR BDM OR ASSOCIATE ROLE DUBAI

We are seeking a highly motivated, commercially driven Senior Business Development Manager (BDM) or Associate-level professional to join a boutique, high-margin wealth advisory practice in the UAE focused on premium client acquisition and structured wealth solutions.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience Level: Mid-career professional (not overly seasoned or “mature”) — ideally with 3–7 years in financial services, preferably in advisory, wealth management, or client-facing roles.
• Mindset: Eager to learn, open to mentorship, and ready to grow into a senior advisory role.
• Skills: Exceptional interpersonal and presentation skills — capable of sitting across from clients, building trust, and closing complex deals.
• Professionalism: Polished, articulate, and client-ready — able to represent the firm at the highest level.
• Network: Bonus if you bring your own professional network to help expand the client base.
  
  

Role & Responsibilities

• Shadow and eventually co-lead client acquisition and relationship management under direct mentorship.
• Take ownership of assigned client portfolios as you progress.
• Collaborate with senior leadership to identify, qualify, and close high-value opportunities.
• Contribute to the growth of a premium, fee-based advisory practice — not transactional or product-driven.
  
  

Why This Role?

This is not a traditional insurance or platform sales role. You’ll be working in a high-yield, high-margin advisory environment where commissions are substantial and performance-based. Unlike roles at firms like De Vere or Skipton (where fees are often tied to product sales), this is a true advisory, value-driven model with significant upside.

Compensation Potential

• Income: A BDM earning £40,000–£50,000 in a traditional firm could comfortably reach six figures within 12 months in this role — with performance-based commissions and retained client fees.
• Structure: High commission potential, aligned with client value and deal size — not volume or product.
  
  

Ideal Fit

• Someone who wants to build a long-term career in premium wealth advisory.
• A proactive, self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, results-driven environment.
• A professional who sees themselves as a future partner or senior advisor — not just a salesperson.
  
  

Next Steps

If you’re interested in a role with exceptional income upside, mentorship, and the opportunity to grow into a senior advisory position within a boutique, high-performing team — please apply below.

Please note: This position would typically suit experienced business development and tele sales type people looking to progress to a more advisory role later. Only candidates in the UAE with existing experience in financial telesales or a client-facing sales role (1+ year minimum experience) will be considered for this role. This position is NOT for someone from the accounting / auditing or financial management profession. This is a client facing, sales and targets driven profession.
