Trainee Financial Advisor

Trainee Financial Advisor – Abu Dhabi
Launch Your International Wealth Management Career
Training in Mauritius | Placement in Abu Dhabi | August 2025 Intake

Our client is a leading independent financial institution with ambitious plans for expansion in Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE. They remain at the forefront of independent advice-driven financial planning and so are seeking people to work internationally.

The world of finance is a rapidly changing place, and the way in which they operate as a company is changing with it. The Trainee Development Program is your pathway into one of the world’s most dynamic and rewarding industries. The company CEO  believes that training is the foundation of what they do and has developed a culture of continued career support, driving their employees career aspirations.

Over the last 20 years, the Trainee Development Program has provided a steady stream of fresh, hungry talent to all parts of our business including wealth management, business development and marketing. Many of the industry’s most successful individuals are products of our client’s Trainee Development Program.

About the Role

We are offering a unique career-launching opportunity for driven individuals looking to break into international financial advisory.

The program begins with a two-month intensive training placement at an investment bank in Mauritius, followed by a full-time advisory role in the Abu Dhabi office. All relocation and logistical support is provided for both stages.

This is a full-time, overseas position starting 11 August 2025. Applicants must be prepared to relocate and committed to building a long-term career in financial services.

Why This Role Stands Out

This opportunity offers:

• A structured, fast-track path into international wealth management
• World-class training and CISI qualification support
• Mentorship from experienced global advisors
• Full relocation support, including accommodation and visa assistance
• Long-term prospects within the Middle East and wider international network

What You'll Be Doing

You’ll be embedded with high-performing international teams, gaining hands-on experience across:

• Lead generation and business development
• Client outreach and relationship building
• CRM systems, digital campaign coordination, and operational support
• Financial products, portfolio structuring, and regulatory insight

Over time, you’ll build a solid foundation in advisory services, equipping you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to grow into a fully qualified Financial Advisor.

Candidate Profile

This role is ideal for individuals who are:

• Driven and ambitious, with a clear vision for a career in financial planning
• Skilled communicators – confident over the phone, video, and in person
• Resilient under pressure and comfortable in a fast-paced environment
• Adaptable and ready to thrive in a new cultural and business setting
• Experienced in sales, lead generation, or business development (1+ year preferred)

This is not just a job — it's a launchpad into the global financial advisory sector.

Please note: This position would typically suit those keen on embarking on a career in financial services and wealth management. You ideally do have a good sales background of some sort. This position is NOT for someone from the accounting / auditing or financial management profession. This is a client facing, sales and targets driven profession. Please only apply if you have the required financial services sales aspirations.
