Role Overview
A client of byteSpark.ai is seeking a highly entrepreneurial and seasoned Relationship Manager (Wealth Management) to help launch and scale a premier, standalone Sharia-compliant private banking platform. Backed by a highly capitalized investment group with licenses across the GCC, you will target the massive, underserved market of high-net-worth Muslim investors globally, with a specific focus on the GCC, India, Pakistan, and Africa. We are looking for relentless 'hunters' with over 10 years of frontline experience and a highly portable, loyal book of UHNW/HNW clients who will follow you to a premium Islamic platform. Stepping away from rigid corporate banking structures, you will operate in a fast-paced, freelance-style environment, pitching exclusive Sharia-compliant products and building bespoke wealth solutions. This role is designed strictly for top-tier rainmakers who confidently back their own ability to generate revenue and are driven by uncapped upside through an highly aggressive, industry-disrupting payout structure.
Requirements
- Here is the updated list, rewritten to strip out the generic Bachelor's degree or higher in Finance, Business Administration, Economics, Banking, or a related field.
- Minimum of 10 years of frontline, revenue-generating experience in Wealth Management or Private Banking.
- Possession of a highly transferable, loyal book of UHNW/HNW clients who are prime candidates for a premium Islamic wealth platform.
- Demonstrated experience managing and acquiring clients with a minimum of USD 10 million in personal investments or net worth exposure.

- Extensive market knowledge and established networks targeting wealthy demographics within the GCC, India, Pakistan, or Africa.
- Highly entrepreneurial "hunter" mindset with a proven track record of aggressive client acquisition and self-driven revenue generation.
- Exceptional negotiation and relationship-building skills, with the grit to thrive in an unstructured, high-reward, performance-driven environment.
Desirable
- Prior direct experience working within standalone Islamic private banks or dedicated Sharia-compliant wealth windows.
- Advanced financial certifications (e.g., CFA, CISI, CAIA) or specialized Islamic Finance qualifications (e.g., IFQ).
- Deep understanding of and established access to wealthy Muslim demographics specifically across India, Pakistan, or Africa.
- Previous experience operating as an External Asset Manager (EAM), independent wealth advisor, or thriving within a high-leverage, heavily commission-based compensation structure.
- Fluency in Arabic, Urdu, or Hindi to effectively build rapport and penetrate the primary target markets
