• Strong knowledge of FCA regulatory requirements, suitability obligations, and conduct standards within a private banking environment
• Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trusted client relationships and guide complex financial decisions with authority and empathy
• A strong commitment to CRM discipline, process adherence, and team accountability in a commercially driven environment
