1. A successful track record selling investment solutions through the UK intermediary market.
2. Strong relationships with financial advisers across the South West.
3. Experience within tax-efficient investments such as VCTs, Business Relief, EIS or broader investment products.
4. Excellent consultative sales and relationship management skills.
5. The ability to work autonomously while contributing to a collaborative national sales team.
