We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just manage a portfolio—
but thinks like a business owner.

💼 The Mandate

• Grow market share in a highly competitive IFA landscape
• Deepen share of wallet with existing broker relationships
• Build and lead a high-performance BC team
• Create momentum where others maintain status quo

This is a role for someone who wants to leave a mark, not just hit a target.

• You turn underpenetrated panels into high-yield relationships
• You build a reputation in the market as someone who gets things done

🧠 Who You Are

• Currently a top-performing Sales Leader
• You understand the IFA landscape—and know where the real opportunities sit
• You have natural commercial instinct and can spot growth gaps quickly
• You lead from the front, but scale through others
• You are frustrated by bureaucracy, slow decision-making, or limited growth scope
• You want more ownership, more influence, and more upside

📈 What You Bring

• Minimum 4 years’ experience servicing independent financial advisers
• Proven ability to drive production and influence IFA behaviour
• Leadership capability — with a track record of developing others
• Strong credibility in the market
• Relevant qualification (B.Comm / CFP® advantageous)

• Real ownership of an area
• Autonomy to execute—not just follow instruction

• A platform to elevate your leadership career
