POSITION
The Position and Expectations
As part of the continued growth of our business in continental Europe, we are currently recruiting for a Relationship Analyst to join our Business Development & Relationship Management Group (the Client Group). This individual will be an integral member of the Global Wealth Management team and will be based in Milan. This role comprises of the Relationship Analyst activities, but also has a translation review component. Both aspects of the role are discussed below:

Relationship Analysts (RAs) support the Business Development and Relationship Management objectives in their teams working with our existing client relationships and prospects. The core role of the RA is to ensure that client needs are met in a timely and accurate manner and to support our business development efforts.

Success in this role requires the RA to have the ability to be proactive in supporting our business development activities, looking to assess and support our prospect and cross sell opportunities. In addition, RAs also support our existing client relationships. This requires the RA to maintain and update client CRM data, analyse opportunities for our clients and prospective clients, and oversee and coordinate the completion of information requests. RAs will work with internal stakeholders to ensure we meet our clients expectations and to ensure deadlines are met. Attention to detail is critical - as is the ability not only to pull data from the various applications available, but also to analyse the data and understand whether that data makes sense. RAs need to have the ability to work independently, in a fast-paced and team-oriented environment, where priorities change frequently and deadlines often need to be met under significant time pressure. Finally, RAs should have a solid knowledge of investments, such that they are able to fully understand, and respond to, client enquiries and requests.

The successful candidate will also be responsible for reviewing client and marketing materials that have been translated into Italian and/or Spanish to ensure they are accurate and retain the intended messaging ready to be used in our prospecting, servicing, and marketing activities for our European clients.

Responsibilities
Commanding a thorough knowledge of our business, coupled with the interpersonal skills to deal effectively with Private Bank clients, the RA will work closely with members of the Global Wealth Management team, as well as many other functional areas of the firm, on a portfolio of assigned accounts. He/she will conduct analysis of client portfolios, initiate investigations, respond to inquiries on a wide variety of topics, and perform other tasks as appropriate. The RA will coordinate prospect reporting, presentations, account maintenance, and ad hoc requests.

Principal responsibilities will include:

• Preparing standard and/or customised prospect presentation materials, briefing books and collateral materials as well as meeting notes required for external meetings;
• Reviewing materials that have been translated from English to ensure the accuracy of the messaging remains intact and work closely with members of the Global Wealth Management, Marketing and reporting teams.
• Participating in in-house client and prospect meetings and conference calls (as appropriate);
• Conducting analysis, initiating investigations and responding to internal and external ad-hoc inquiries on a wide variety of topics, including portfolio and product specific information, investment guidelines, market trends, regulation considerations and fees;
• Acting as a point of contact for various groups within client organisations;
• Coordinating key client communications;
• Supporting the local GWM Business Development Manager in the organisation of client roadshows and meetings;
• Capturing and maintaining client data in relevant internal systems;
• Qualifying and coordinating Requests for Information/Due Diligence Questionnaires (RFIs) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and working with internal teams to ensure that each one receives the proper response;
• Developing an understanding of the depth and breadth of Wellington Management's investment approaches.

Qualifications
The successful candidate is likely to:

• Demonstrate excellent verbal and written English language skills. Fluency in either Italian and/or Spanish is a requirement (both would be advantageous).
• Have 1-3 years of relevant client service experience, preferably gained within the Investment Management industry. Experience of working with Private Banks and/or Asset Managers would be advantageous;
• Demonstrate a solid understanding of capital markets and/or investment products;
• Have a strong academic background. Ideally this will include progress towards a professional qualification (e.g CFA or equivalent);
• Be self-motivated, creative and enthusiastic;
• Be a natural collaborator who can work well in a small team.

• Please note that we are only able to respond to successful applicants.
