Investment Director – Head of Investments – Edinburgh

Our client is a leading UK based private client investment and financial planning firm. As a major industry award winner, they offer an exciting and dynamic working environment, backed up by a solid business dating back over a hundred years with an impressive client base. After a recent period of significant change, they are looking to increase their presence in Scotland, and enlarge the size of the existing Private Client Investment Team. They are consequently seeking an Investment Director to join this expanding team in their Edinburgh Office.

You will originate from an investment background, with experience of dealing directly with High Net Worth individuals, assessing their attitude to risk, whilst working closely with them to address their investment needs. Knowledge and experience of the successful construction and management of tailored investment portfolios from both a discretionary and advisory stance is key, as is direct equity investment experience.

As Head of Investments, you will have the necessary excellent interpersonal and people management skills to enable you to successfully manage the existing team of talented investment managers. The emphasis of this role is on the individual having the key skills, gravitas and ambition to develop and drive the business forward. Ideally, you will bring a significant client base with you but in the absence of this, you will be expected to build an agreed value of assets under management within a five year period.

Remuneration for this post Investment Director role will compare well with market competitors, and will be based on the individual candidate. There is potential for an equity share scheme being awarded in the case of exceptional individuals.
