This Associate to Senior Associate opportunity would suit someone with around 2–6 years of relevant experience who wants to gain genuine exposure to UHNW clients and complex international matters.

The role would suit someone who is happy to get involved in the detail as well as the bigger picture, with the opportunity to build their career within a highly collaborative and global multi-family office environment. Key Responsibilities:Support and develop long-term relationships with HNW/UHNW clients, family members and their advisorsWork closely with senior Relationship Managers on key client relationships, taking increasing responsibility for client matters depending on experienceCoordinate with internal teams including legal, compliance, trust, accounting, investments, philanthropy and riskLiaise with external professionals including lawyers, tax specialists, trustees and asset managersAssist with or manage banking payments, account openings, compliance documentation, risk reviews and debt monitoringPrepare client reporting packs, financial analysis and meeting materials, using Excel extensivelyAssist with financial processes including loan schedules, reporting and analysis of client structuresGain exposure to trusts, corporate structures, estate planning, tax and other family office servicesSupport the presentation and coordination of the Group's services to clients and their advisorsContribute to internal projects, business development and marketing initiatives where requiredTake a proactive "get things done" approach to both strategic projects and day-to-day administrationProfil recherchéProfile:Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Accounting, Law or a related disciplineApproximately 2–6+ years' relevant experience, depending on level, ideally gained within financial services, Big 4 audit/advisory, tax, trusts, wealth planning or a similar environmentStrong client service and administrative skills, with the ability to build and maintain long-term relationships with HNW/UHNW clientsNumerate and confident working with financial information, financial statements, reporting and ExcelHighly organised, proactive and detail-oriented, with the maturity and initiative to take ownership of both day-to-day matters and broader client projectsKnowledge of trusts, corporate structures, tax or wealth planning is an advantage; ACA, ACCA or an equivalent international qualification would be a plus for the more experienced profileFluent/bilingual English; additional languages such as German, French or Spanish would be an advantage but are not essentialIdeally already based in the Zurich area, with Swiss/EU/EFTA nationality or otherwise eligible for a Swiss work permit
