The Financial Services marketing headhunters at tml Partners have sourced a Director of Performance Marketing & Operations for wealth management firm Rathbones.

Rathbones Group plc provide individual investment and wealth management services for private clients, charities, trustees and professional partners. They have been trusted for generations to manage and preserve their clients’ wealth. Their tradition of investing and acting responsibly has been integral to their success as one of the most consistently recognised UK Wealth Managers.

The Challenge:

The successful appointment would need to oversee and provide blue-sky thinking for a digital team already at work devising digital campaigns for a changing, increasingly younger client base. The wealth management sector at large needs to approach the generational change in wealth for a digital lens, and Rathbones are acutely aware of this.

The Solution:

Seb Wainwright, a specialist asset and wealth management marketing headhunter at tml Partners, worked closely with Martin McGovern (Interim CMO), Ivo Darnely (Managing Director) and Gaynor Gillespie (Chief People Officer) at Rathbones to develop a great understanding of the company and their marketing function. Seb utilised his extensive network of marketing professionals across Asset Management, proactively presenting a shortlist to the Senior Leadership team. The right candidate had to be one that ticked all the boxes and would understand the challenges in the industry.

The successful candidate, Nick Odermatt, commented: “tml is everything you want from a recruitment agency. I’d engaged with them on a few previous occasions as a candidate but never got a role across the line, but they were remained great at keeping in touch, always professional and I felt they had genuine care-factor. On the latest occasion Seb from tml Partners got in touch with me about a new role, and long story short I’m now gainfully employed thanks to his efforts. Highly recommended all round.”
