Hamilton Bradshaw MENA, the private equity firm founded by James Caan CBE, is offering a unique entrepreneurial opportunity for a senior finance professional to co-found and lead a premier financial services firm in Dubai. This is not a salaried position—it’s an equity-based startup partnership backed by Hamilton Bradshaw’s strategic capital, mentorship, and global expertise. Ideal for visionary leaders in wealth management, investment advisory, or private banking, this role empowers you to build a world-class firm tailored to the region’s growing demand for agile, client-centric financial solutions.

Your Mission:
Launch and scale a forward-thinking financial services firm offering:

• Wealth Management & Investment Advisory
• Succession & Estate Planning
• Cross-border Tax-efficient Structuring
• Strategic Financial Planning
• Family Office Setup & Operations
• Capital Raising Advisory for Entrepreneurs
• Private Market Access (VC, PE, Real Assets)

What We Provide:

• Equity Partnership: True ownership and leadership of your firm
• Seed Capital: Initial funding to build infrastructure and attract top talent
• Strategic Mentorship: Hands-on guidance from Hamilton Bradshaw’s leadership
• Brand & Market Entry: Marketing and positioning support in the Dubai ecosystem

Why Now?
Dubai’s evolving regulatory landscape, rising UHNW population, and regional capital flows have created a significant market gap for independent, technically robust financial services firms. This is your chance to lead that transformation.

About You:

• Currently based in Dubai with deep regional financial insight
• 10+ years of experience in wealth management, investment consulting, or private banking
• Professional qualifications (CFA, CFP, CAIA, CPA, or equivalent)
• Strong understanding of UAE regulations and cross-border structuring
• Background in top-tier financial institutions or boutique firms
• Entrepreneurial mindset with high client credibility and leadership presence

• Founding team & background
• Business stage (idea, MVP, traction)
• Target market in the UAE
• Core service offerings
• Competitive positioning
• 3-year growth roadmap
