Relationship Manager

The role

You own the relationship. All of it.

You introduce companies and private clients, coordinate the documentation they need to provide, and stay their commercial point of contact once the account is live. Where a Partner stops at the introduction, you carry the relationship.

You also escalate: unusual behaviour, adverse information, an unexplained source of funds, a third-party payment that does not fit. Early and in writing. That judgement is most of the job.

You build your own partner network

Relationship managers are the only people at SQF who recruit referral partners. You propose the candidate; SQF contracts and screens them. You earn on the clients they introduce, on top of your own.

Partners cannot recruit other partners. There is one level and no downstream structure, and we will not build one. What you are building is a book, not a pyramid.

How you're paid

On your own clients: A share of the net revenue SQF actually collects from clients you introduce personally
On your partners' clients: A smaller share on clients introduced by partners you recruited
Calculated on: Revenue received, never transfer volume, never client balances
How long for: For as long as the client remains with SQF

Rates are confirmed in writing before you sign and are fixed on the record at the date of each introduction. We will walk you through the full structure at interview.

What you do not decide

No client, account, transaction, payment or business relationship is approved by you. Compliance and Management approve, every time, and nothing moves before they do.

You will never be asked to tell a client that approval is guaranteed or imminent, and you must not. If that sounds restrictive, it is. It is also the part of the job we are least willing to compromise on.

Who this suits

Background in private banking, wealth management, corporate finance, payments or professional services
An existing international network of companies or private clients
Comfortable owning compliance-gated conversations, and saying "I need to check"
Fluent English. French, German, Italian, Arabic, Mandarin or Russian an advantage

You do not need a Swiss residence permit. This role is open internationally, subject to local law.

What we require

You are verified and screened.

Identity verification plus screening against sanctions, politically-exposed-person and adverse-media lists, with ongoing monitoring, and anti-money-laundering training you retake at the intervals we set.

You keep the client file honest.

Incomplete files get flagged as incomplete. Documents are never altered, backdated or completed with information nobody gave you.

You represent us accurately.

We are a financial intermediary, not a bank. You are also answerable for what the partners you recruit say about us.

You never hold client money.

No funds through personal accounts, no custody, no side agreements. Ever.

How you are engaged

This position is offered on an independent contractor basis. You are not an employee, officer, director or agent of SQF, you have no authority to bind SQF, and you are responsible for your own taxes and social security contributions.
