Geneva or Zurich · Private Bank
Awarded Best Executive Search Company in Wealth Management — WealthBriefing Swiss Awards 2026, Hunkar Finance is a Geneva-based boutique dedicated to serving wealth management leaders, private bankers and the key talents of the financial industry.
The firm was created by the industry, for the industry : its founder comes from the banking world, with more than fifteen years spent accompanying UHNW clients across banking and private markets. “Placing a candidate is a craft. Revealing the alchemy between a talent and an institution is an art.” — that conviction is why Hunkar Finance exists.
Our approach is deliberately reversed : we begin with the candidate, not the mandate — your objectives first, then the seats that serve them. The accompaniment is complete : salary negotiation handled for you, a personalised follow-up after engagement, coaching whenever useful. For private bankers, this typically translates into base salaries of CHF 250,000–400,000 and total compensations reaching CHF 1 million and beyond.
We work with the leaders of the market. And confidentiality is not a promise we make — it is the DNA of the house.
Our client, an established private bank of deliberately human scale, is developing its Swiss franchise in Geneva or Zurich. Each is a leading centre of international wealth in its own right — and the choice of base, quite simply, is yours.
This is a builder's mandate : the house wants a Swiss Onshore franchise of reference, and intends to give its banker the means to create it. You will report to the Swiss desk head, a market professional of long standing.
You will be your clients' first call — and, with the specialists around you, their last worry : investments, planning, credit, execution. You will keep each portfolio aligned with its owner's objectives — reviewing, adjusting, explaining : this clientele expects understanding, not only performance.
The house is large enough to matter and small enough to move quickly : direct access to management, pragmatic committees, realistic ambitions.
Worth knowing about the platform : Multi-booking capabilities across several centres give your clients genuine flexibility. Advice is genuinely open-architecture : no in-house product pressure, ever. The systems are modern and reliable — technology that genuinely supports the banker's work. Around the banker : assistants, investment specialists and wealth planners, at your side and genuinely available. Management understands how books are built — and grants the time to build them. In-house wealth planning of institutional quality supports complex, cross-border situations. A distinctive offering in private markets and alternatives sets the platform apart. A stable shareholder base and a long-term view protect the house from short-term agitation. The house is in a clear growth phase — and hires accordingly. The house is open to welcoming a team : bankers moving together will find a platform prepared for it.
If what you value is proximity — a management that knows your name, committees that decide, and room to build — this seat deserves a conversation. And if building is what drives you, the mandate is exactly that.
The package stands above the market average, in remuneration as in working conditions ; both are discussed openly from the first exchange.
Every exchange is strictly confidential.
