Key Pointers Hiring Managers Look for in Relationship Manager Resumes
- Ability to Capture New High Net Worth Clients: The first step towards being a good relationship manager is demonstrating your ability to acquire new customers. And I’m not talking about just ordinary bank customers, but clients who can be qualified as potentially interested in investment products and wealth management solutions.
- Ability to Grow Assets Under Management (AUM): One of the primary expertise of a relationship manager is in client and asset management. By demonstrating how you are able to fully understand your clients’ needs and identify relevant financial products and solutions for them, you can easily support how you successfully managed and grew assets individually which in turn, adds to the total growth of all assets managed by the firm.
- Ability to Sell Complex Structured Products: As a relationship manager, you will spend a great amount of time conceptualising and proposing portfolio solutions to clients that will generate significant sales and revenue for the company. Therefore, hiring managers should be able to see that you can confidently present, discuss, and convince clients to accept your proposed solutions.
- Strong Understanding of Capital Markets: It would also be good to have a good undertsnading of the current capital market and financial trends.
- Include portfolio details (such as size and amount) of what you have handled. Show how you were able to drive growth and increases sales by identifying strategies you implemented, quantifying your achievements where possible.
- Aside from extensive financial experience, make sure to include and highlight your communication and organizational skills, sales orientation, self motivation, customer service skills, and computer competencies on your CV. All these add up to being a well-rounded banking executive and relationship management expert.
- Include related sales and/or financial courses you’ve taken, as well are certifications you’ve received to add strength to your profile.
