Key Responsibilities to include but not limited to:

About You

This role is for a self-motivated candidate who is either already successful in a similar role or someone that wants to move into a sales position, having previously gained some industry experience in a business with a comparable proposition.

Experience from within wealth management or investment management is preferred, and a background in Distribution/Sales/Marketing would be of benefit

For the right person the role provides the opportunity for career progression by developing to become a Business Development Manager, servicing the financial adviser market, if this is of interest.

The role-holder will be required to manage their own workload and work closely with all members of the distribution team and colleagues across the regions when appropriate.

It is expected that the successful candidate will already have or be enthusiastic about developing, with Quilter Cheviot’s support, significant skills and expertise delivering remote sales presentations to financial advisers across the UK.
