Exciting opportunity to take your career to the next level as a sales and marketing professional to lead our business development activity within the Charities sector, working closely with the whole team as well as wider business units (Investments, Marketing etc).
We are open to people from diverse backgrounds but do need someone with a desire to expand on current knowledge of financial markets and investment products who is confident directly interacting with clients, attending events / conferences that can build rapport and trust.

About the Company
W1M was founded with the merger of London & Capital and Waverton, two well established Wealth Managers who both have 40 years of history, in 2024. Since the merger we have gone from strength to strength growing from roughly 250 people to over 400 and increasing our AUM to around £27billion.
We focus on working with High and Ultra-High-Net-Worth individuals and families, Charities and Institutions offering a one stop shop for all wealth planning, investment and tax services including multi-jurisdictional situations.
Beyond our direct client relationships, we also maintain longstanding partnerships with Independent Financial Advisers providing access to our market-leading investment solutions.
We are continuing to expand with ambitious plans to increase our AUM to over £50 billion by 2030 based on the foundation of the quality of advice and services we provide to our clients, alongside peer-leading investment performance.
Internally we are a highly collaborative organisation free from the politics and bureaucracy of larger firms that gives everyone the opportunity to make a real difference and enhance the way we work. We have a sociable culture with several team events throughout the year and a welcoming and supportive environment.
