At Julius Baer, we celebrate and value the individual qualities you bring, enabling you to be impactful, to be entrepreneurial, to be empowered, and to create value beyond wealth. Let’s shape the future of wealth management together.

In addition to the Intermediaries Assistant Relationship Manager (ARM) role profile, the Intermediaries Account Manager (AM) takes ownership of the account administration, documentation formalities and tasks during daily operations and in case of impactful projects. This is accompanied by a greater level of independent client interaction than the ARM.
In contrast to the Relationship Manager (RM), the AM do not have their own client book. However, he/she reaches out to and interacts with clients directly, where appropriate and in close collaboration with the RM. Excellent professional, personal and social skills are seen when liaising at all levels.
The AM ensures successful operational client account management, through autonomous interaction with both internal and external stakeholders in the scope of their role. They provide clients with relevant information and further support the RM in implementing customised solutions. The Account Manager acts as a role model in bringing the best service quality to clients, RMs and Team Heads. They demonstrate professional commitment to ensuring excellent administration of the account and work proactively to go the extra mile to manage and grow our client base.
