Senior Private Banking Headhunter

Senior Private Banking Headhunter

Dubai

About DES Capital

DES Capital is an executive search firm dedicated to private banking, working from Geneva, Zurich, London, Miami and Dubai. For fifteen years we have represented senior private bankers, typically managing CHF 500 million to 2 billion, and placed them with the banks and independent wealth managers that trust us. We work discreetly, we know the people we place personally, and our clients come back to us because the bankers we bring them stay and grow.

The role

You will be DES Capital's senior headhunter in Dubai. You will look after our relationships with private banks, family offices and independent wealth managers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar: understanding where each institution wants to grow, which bankers and teams they are looking for, and bringing them the right people. You will work hand in hand with our directors in Geneva on every mandate, from the first conversation with a decision maker to the signed contract, and you will have the platform, the research and the candidate network of an established firm behind you.

What we are looking for

• Established, trusted relationships with private banking decision makers in the region: heads of private banking, CEOs, founders and heads of business development. People who take your call and value your judgement.

• A track record in private banking headhunting, executive search or business development, with placements, mandates or partnerships you can describe in detail and put a number on.

• A real understanding of the private banking business: how bankers build and move a book, what institutions look for, what makes a placement last.

• The standing to speak with senior bankers and executives as a peer, and the discretion this work demands.

• Excellent English. Arabic or French is a plus.

What we offer

• A senior role with real ownership of your market and your relationships.

• A performance-linked package, tailored to what you bring and built to reward results generously.

• Compensation estimated at over five figures a month.

• The backing of fifteen years of private banking relationships, a proven way of working and a team that supports every mandate.

• Flexibility in how you organise your work: what matters is the quality of your relationships and your results.

When you apply, tell us about your experience in as much detail as you can: the firms, the markets, the relationships and the results. It is the first thing we read.

Apply in confidence.
