With offices across Dublin, London, Cork and Galway, we continue to invest in our people, expertise, and technology to deliver thoughtful, high‑quality outcomes for our clients while supporting sustainable growth across the business.

About the Role

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced wealth manager ready to play a central role in Goodbody’s evolving Client Advisory model. As Senior Wealth Executive, you will manage a growing book of high\-net\-worth (HNW) clients within our Client Advisory team, delivering an integrated, financial planning\-led service that connects investment management, tax\-aware structuring, estate planning, and intergenerational wealth strategy.

This is a permanent, client\-facing role combining significant client responsibility, commercial accountability, and the opportunity to contribute to the development of Goodbody’s advisory proposition.

You will report to the Senior Director, Client Advisory and work within a specialist team structured around three disciplines: Active Trading, Wealth Advisory, and Fiduciary \& NFP.
