Financial Advisor at Old Mutual Kenya

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Understand people first – You’ll hold meaningful conversations with clients to understand their goals, lifestyle, income, and financial priorities, going beyond surface-level needs to uncover what truly matters to them.
• Guide smart financial decisions – Based on what you learn, you’ll recommend investment and insurance solutions that are practical, relevant, and aligned to each client’s goals – not just generic products.

• Stay informed and relevant – You’ll continuously learn about market trends, new products, and industry changes so that your advice remains timely, credible, and valuable.
• Build long-term relationships – This is not a one-time interaction; you’ll keep in touch with clients, review their progress, and support them through different life stages and financial decisions.
• Grow your own client base – You’ll actively look for new opportunities through referrals, networking, and personal initiative, building a pipeline that reflects your effort and ambition.
