VP or Director, Client Solutions (Private Wealth) – Germany & Austria

Regions: Germany, Austria

Location: London, Berkeley Square House, London W1J 6BD

Company: ROYC

Hiring Manager: Lucas Stalder, Senior Client Director

ROYC is scaling rapidly as it builds the leading operating and investment enablement partner for private markets in wealth management. Across private banks, multi-family offices, and wealth managers, client demand for private markets is strong, yet revenue fails to scale due to structural constraints. ROYC exists to remove these constraints by combining institutional investment solutions, wealth-adapted structuring, and a purpose-built operating system.

You will lead new business generation, commercial origination, solution design, and regional go-to-market ownership for sophisticated private wealth partners in Germany and Austria. This senior, client-facing, cross-functional role sits between commercial, investment, structuring, and operations. You will own your region end-to-end, with full accountability for new business generation, revenue growth, and long-term partnership development, acting as ROYC’s senior representative and solution partner for private wealth institutions.

You will own ROYC’s private wealth footprint across Germany and Austria, with responsibility for defining and executing the regional commercial strategy.

You are expected to bring strong first-hand knowledge of: the German and Austrian private banking and wealth management landscape; differences between universal banks, private banks, independent wealth managers, MFOs, and advisory-driven models; regulatory, structuring, and operating specificities relevant to private markets, including German and Austrian investor protection regimes and cross-border structuring via Luxembourg; and decision-making processes, partnership behaviour, and buying centres within German and Austrian institutions.
