Job Description

Digital Wealth Investment Advisor

The Investment Products & Solutions division is seeking a Digital Wealth Investment Advisor to define and elevate the craft of digital investment advisory across the Private Bank.

We are transitioning from legacy, rule-based advisory logic to a data-enhanced, propensity-driven engagement model. This role operationalizes that shift - transforming CIO and IPS insights into hyper-personalized, timely, high-impact communication that increases penetration of House recommendations, drives advisor adoption, and enhances consistency of client outcomes. You will report directly to the Head of Digital Advisory (CFA).

Core KPIs

• Quality of advisory narratives tailored across investor archetypes and risk profiles, supported by hyper-personalization as measured by advisor and client satisfaction and open rates of client communication materials
• Support business acquisition of new wealth clients and the growth of AUM and wallet share by sharpening the value proposition of advisory to help achieve AUM growth targets.
• Deepen and strengthen client wealth portfolios as measured by increased penetration of invested AUM.

Core Responsibilities

Advisory Quality, Narrative Craft & Maker-Checker Duties

• Define the bank's approach to tailoring the format of hyper-personalized advice for each investor archetype.
• Translate CIO/IPS insights into clear, well-structured narratives that support advisor conversation flow and client decision-making.
• Ensure all client-facing advisory outputs generated from AI/ML recommendations deliver a personalized and engaging wealth advisory experience.
• Ensure accuracy, suitability, and alignment with the Bank's House View, including strategic asset allocation, investor objectives, tactical shifts, thematic signals, and product convictions.

Embedded CIO/IPS Collaboration & View Articulation

• Partner with Sales Advisory and the Digital Engagement team to continually gather client insights and feedback on the bank's advisory approach.
• Operate embedded within CIO and IPS, providing feedback on whether investment views are clearly articulated, coherent, and internally consistent.
• Appropriately challenge assumptions and advocate for clearer rationale where needed, while recognizing that final decisions remain with CIO and product specialists.
• Ensure the advisory engine reflects specialist-validated logic, while offering grounded suggestions for improvement.

Domain Stewardship Across Product & Advisory Logic

• Act as a critical user and consolidator of CIO/IPS-owned product shelves, advisory parameters, and investment lists.
• Suggest refinements to narrative positioning, factor emphasis, and communication strategy without altering underlying product logic or view formation.

Segmentation - Aware, Hyper - Personalized Expression

• Leverage model-enabled hyper-personalization (segment insights, behavioural signals, lifecycle stages) and contribute by recommending appropriate personalization factors and framing.
• Tailor communication formats to enhance relevance, resonance, and response quality across client archetypes.

GenAI - Enabled Advisory Production

• Conduct content QA on GenAI-generated materials, ensuring narrative accuracy, tonal consistency, and adherence to IPS governance.
• Diagnose issues, refine instructions, and manage regeneration cycles - without technical engineering responsibilities.
• Collaborate with AI Engineering and Digital Engagement teams to maintain controlled, repeatable, and governed content workflows.

Governance, Suitability & Advisory Controls

• Uphold and refine the governance framework for digital advisory outputs, including quality gates, auditability, and escalation paths.
• Ensure all expressions of the House View meet suitability, conduct, and compliance standards across markets.
• Contribute to reducing advisory inconsistency across channels, advisors, and client segments.

Advisor - Facing Engagement, Feedback & Occasional Client Interaction

• Serve primarily as an advisor-facing partner, helping RMs and IAs integrate thematic, tactical, and product-level insights into client conversations.
• Participate in occasional client interactions, including feedback sessions and, on a truly exceptional basis, sales pitches or portfolio reviews.
• Drive adoption of digital advisory tools, using structured feedback loops to refine content formats and sequencing logic.

Continuous Multi - Cadence Content Review & Refinement

This is not a high - output writing role, but it carries significant editorial responsibility in collaboration with the AI Engineer to fine - tune generative AI outputs for hyper - personalization, investor archetypes, and different communication channels.

It is primarily review - oriented, bridging specialist outputs with House View context, prevailing market sentiment, and client risk appetite.

You will review, refine, and sign off on diverse content types across multiple cadences, including:

• Daily market commentary
• Monthly pitchbooks
• Portfolio review narratives
• Thematic briefs

Candidate Profile

Experience

• 8-12+ years in Wealth or Asset Management with a strong track record in investment communications, thematic expression, and advisor-oriented storytelling.
• Demonstrated ability to sequence narratives from framing to objections to closure, with impeccable accuracy.
• Chinese language proficiency and CFA charterholder strongly preferred.

Domain Expertise

• Deep understanding of Wealth Management: asset allocation, suitability, rebalancing, structured products, funds, fixed income, alternatives, and portfolio construction.
• Ability to bridge model-driven quantitative signals with expert investment judgment to create cohesive messages.

Mindset & Working Style

• Structured, rigorous, precise, and meticulous about suitability and narrative alignment.
• Comfortable working in a hybrid human-plus-machine advisory workflow.
• Collaborative across CIO, IPS, Digital Advisory, Digital Engagement, and AI teams.
