The Opportunity
An established international private banking platform in the DIFC is expanding its regional coverage team and is looking to add a senior relationship manager with a personally owned book spanning GCC, Levant, African or Indian UHNW and HNW clients.
This is a confidential mandate for a platform with existing DFSA licensing, booking capability and a genuinely multilingual coverage team — not a greenfield build. The successful candidate will bring a portable book with proven revenue and a strong compliance culture, and will be supported by an established product shelf spanning advisory, Lombard lending, private markets and real estate financing.
The platform is calibrating carefully on booking options, credit appetite and product fit, so business plans built on realistic wallet share rather than optimistic projections are essential. Candidates who combine Arabic and English with French, Hindi or Urdu are particularly well positioned for the broader GCC, Levant, Africa and India corridor this desk covers.
What You Bring
The profile that succeeds in this mandate.
- 1Personal ownership of UHNW/HNW relationships across GCC, Levant, Africa or India — not team or institutionally supported
- 2Minimum USD 150M portable book measured over 3-year average
- 35+ years private banking experience based in Dubai DIFC or a comparable Gulf booking centre
- 4Arabic and English required; French, Hindi or Urdu a strong differentiator depending on desk
