About the Role

We're seeking an experienced leader for the role of Head of Financial Advisors — the key execution partner to our Executive Head and senior day-to-day leader of our Financial Planning practice.

This is a team leadership role with team-based outcomes. The successful candidate will not build, retain, or service a personal client book. You'll lead the Financial Planning team, oversee advice-quality standards, and ensure our Administration and Para-planning hubs deliver the capacity and service levels planners and clients need.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Advice quality: Build an advice-led culture prioritizing client outcomes; provide technical oversight across retirement, investments, risk/insurance, tax, estate planning, and employee benefits; ensure advice is compliant and well-documented
  • Stakeholder engagement: Handle escalated client matters; partner with investment consulting, retirement, compliance, and operations teams; remove operational friction so planners can focus on clients
  • Strategy execution: Convert strategic intent into practical plans with clear owners and milestones; lead change initiatives with genuine team buy-in and adoption

Qualifications

  • Relevant degree or financial planning qualification (CFP preferred)
  • FAIS fit-and-proper status and relevant regulatory examinations
  • Experience
  • Proven leadership of Financial Planners or similarly senior, professional client-facing teams
  • Strong track record in performance management, coaching, and difficult people decisions (including formal capability/termination processes)
  • Experience recruiting advisers and assessing technical and cultural fit
  • Operational experience improving service delivery across advice, admin, or para-planning functions
  • Experience driving change/new operating models with sustained adoption
  • Comfortable with scorecards and performance metrics; strong stakeholder management and diplomacy

Key Competencies

  • Technical financial planning credibility to oversee senior/executive-level advice
  • Accountability, Excellence, Integrity, Innovation, Teamwork, Attention to Detail

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
