Client Banking Manager

WHO WE AREGCG Structuring is a boutique corporate structuring and advisory firm — not a business setup company. We work with high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients worldwide, designing multi-jurisdiction holding structures, trusts and wealth architecture. We operate across all UAE jurisdictions — DIFC, ADGM, mainland and the free zones — alongside offshore and international jurisdictions, and we are held to a standard of precision that reflects the complexity of the clients we serve.WHY THIS ROLE EXISTSWe have spoken to a great many bankers — people who sell products for a bank, or who process files inside one. What we keep not finding is someone who has sat on both sides of the desk: inside a bank, and then across from one, taking a client's file and getting it accepted. That combination is genuinely scarce in this market, and it is precisely what this role requires.This is not an administrative seat, and it is not a compliance seat. You will own client banking end to end — the client relationship, the bank relationship, and the outcome. You will be the person our account managers and our clients turn to when a file is difficult, and the person accountable for the account being opened.WHAT YOU WILL DOBank selection and placementRead a client profile and know — directly, without research — which bank will take it, and on what terms.Determine the appropriate banking route, jurisdiction and institution for each client structure.Prepare and present client files to banks, and drive applications through to the account being opened.Own the client conversation: advise on the route, carry the client with you, and set realistic expectations on what is achievable and in what timeframe.Stay with the client after opening — ongoing account maintenance, additional accounts, and changes to the structure.Relationships and escalationBuild and hold direct relationships with relationship managers and onboarding teams across the UAE and relevant international banks.Resolve bank queries and requests for information through to completion, on the client's behalf.Handle declines: diagnose the real reason, rework and reposition the file, and place it elsewhere.Advise clients directly and credibly on what a bank will and will not accept — and structure accordingly.Be transparent! Working with complianceWork alongside our compliance function on CDD and EDD, UBO analysis, and source of wealth and source of funds.Pre-empt and mitigate risk factors in a file before it reaches the bank, rather than after.Serve as the internal point of reference for client teams on banking questions.WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORBoth sides of the desk. Time inside a UAE bank, and hands-on experience placing clients into accounts from the client side.Live relationships with UAE relationship managers and onboarding teams that you can use from day one.Complexity. Our clients are not standard business current accounts — multi-layer ownership, cross-border source of funds, offshore holding chains, and sometimes higher-risk jurisdictions. We will want to understand how much of that you have handled.A transparent advisor, not an administrator. The role exists to enable good business within a sensible risk framework.Credibility in front of UHNW clients — the composure to sit in the room and be believed.VALUED, NOT REQUIREDAML or compliance certification (CAMS, ICA or equivalent).Russian or Arabic alongside English.Exposure to DIFC and ADGM, offshore jurisdictions, or private banking onboarding.OUR CULTUREPositive attitudeWork ethicSolution-orientednessExtreme ownershipA-player attitudeTransparencyHOW TO APPLY.
