Chartered Financial Planner

Company: AES International

Headquartered in the DIFC, AES International is a highly differentiated and extremely passionate international financial services organization specialising in cross border, non-domicile, and multi-jurisdictional financial advice.

Our knowledge-driven, principled, solution-orientated team at Head Office are key to this success. It is our people who lead our multi-award winning, diverse partnership, it is our people who build upon a completely different approach to the ordinary expatriate, international, offshore and non-domiciled financial marketplace; and it’s our people who have led to AES being recognised as market leading visionaries.

This level of professionalism speaks volumes for our single-minded focus in creating positive change.

AES International has clear ambitions to transform the Wealth Management industry for expatriate clients. We are seeking experts in a range of areas, including Financial Planning and Pensions advice, both to support our clients directly, and also to provide insights and guidance to other members of our Client Service teams.

Success in this role will require subject matter expertise, an appetite to take AES’s technical capabilities in Financial Planning to new levels, and to deliver outstanding client service. The role will require a focus on the generation of Net New Assets (NNA) from new and existing clients, input to the firm’s strategy on helping clients and other team members with the provision of excellent advice to clients, and a focus on meeting the firm’s strategic objective of significantly growing our Assets Under Management (AUM). We would expect, in due course, that the successful candidate would be considered to take on leadership of a small but growing team of Planners. As a small business, all of our client-facing teams have a responsibility to generate new business and we would expect the role to provide leadership and set an example in this endeavour.
