Job Description

Position: Trainee Financial Planner - Entry Level

Hoxton Wealth is a fast-growing, global financial services firm operating across Cyprus, the US, UK, Dubai, South Africa, Australia and Asia. Managing over £4 billion in assets, we combine cutting-edge technology with tax-led financial planning to deliver smarter, more efficient wealth solutions for our clients.

Our approach is simple: modern tools, expert advice and a global mindset. We help clients navigate complex cross-border financial needs, build long-term wealth and protect what matters most.

About the Opportunity

Location: Dubai (relocation required) work at the centre of a global business in one of the world's most dynamic financial hubs.

This is not your typical graduate role, it is a high-performance career launchpad into international wealth management and it is not for everyone.

As a Trainee Wealth Manager, you will start by mastering one of the most valuable skills in finance: generating opportunity. You will learn how to build relationships, create deal flow and develop a pipeline of high-value clients across Hoxton's specialist areas.

From day one, you will be immersed in the industry, gaining exposure to investment strategy, financial planning, client advisory and technical structuring. This is a hands-on role where performance drives progression.

You will begin your journey in Dubai, working alongside experienced professionals in a fast-paced, ambitious environment, while completing a structured 24–36 month training programme. This includes earning UK-recognised financial qualifications and preparing to step into a fully-fledged advisory role within one of our global offices.

For the right person, this role offers rapid career acceleration, international mobility and uncapped earning potential.

What You Will Be Doing

• Engaging with prospective clients to understand their current financial situation, goals, and challenges
• Having meaningful conversations to identify whether Hoxton's services can add value
• Booking qualified meetings for senior advisors based on genuine client needs and suitability
• Building trust and long-term relationships through professional, insightful communication
• Developing your knowledge of financial planning, investment solutions, and cross-border structuring
• Supporting advisors in delivering tailored strategies aligned to each client's objectives
• Working towards becoming a fully qualified Financial Planner

This is a target-driven role where consistency is key, you will be expected to secure at least one qualified meeting per day as a minimum standard.

What We Are Looking For

We're not focused on hiring experience, we are hiring mindset.

• Resilience: You stay consistent, professional and motivated while building relationships and developing opportunities over time
• Drive: You're competitive and motivated to outperform
• Work ethic: You are prepared to put in the hours to get results
• Communication: Confident, clear and professional on the phone
