Private Banking Jobs in Switzerland

Executive Partners is a Geneva-headquartered executive search firm dedicated to Private Banking & Wealth Management. Switzerland remains the most mature cross-border booking centre globally, with deep client flows across Europe, Middle East, LatAm and APAC. We help banks, EAMs and family offices hire proven Relationship Managers (HNW/UHNW), Team Heads and Market Leaders who combine credible portability with disciplined, compliant client care.

Our Swiss mandates typically cover Geneva, Zurich and wider Romandie, with onshore and cross-border remits. Success profiles emphasise portable revenue, realistic wallet share, booking-centre fit, and adherence to FINMA documentation standards. We calibrate with the business on realistic time-to-ramp and compensation design so hires both perform and stay.

What makes a strong Swiss RM profile?

• Proven coverage of defined client geographies (CH onshore, EU cross-border, MEA, LatAm) with referenceable relationships.
• Portability signals: client retention history, referral ecosystem, and a narrative consistent with cross-border rules and product shelf.
• Advisory breadth: discretionary/advisory mandates, credit (Lombard/RE), and private markets access.
• Compliance excellence: FINMA-grade files, clean documentation, and disciplined communication.

Current hiring themes

Banks are prioritising steady, multi-year books over one-off wins. Desks with a balanced mix of discretionary mandates and recurring advisory revenue tend to onboard more smoothly. Demand is healthy for CH Onshore, Portugal/LatAm diaspora in Geneva, MEA coverage from Zurich, and select UK/US cross-border specialists with robust governance.

How we work

We map the market, validate portability and present shortlists you can act on. For candidates, we share roles discreetly and move only with consent. For hiring managers, we stress-test the commercial plan and timeline before approach work so processes run quietly and efficiently.
