No deadline given. It closes when the places fill, which on a sought-after London desk is often weeks after it opens. Apply as if it closes tomorrow.
The header lines: Division: Asset & Wealth Management. Function: Business Development Professional. Corporate title: Associate. Location: London, United Kingdom. Start: 26 July 2026. Business Development Professionals, the posting says, 'provide analytical, investment, and client service support for existing clients while at the same time developing skills to participate in the team's new business generation under an apprenticeship model with current Private Wealth Advisors', and 'the ongoing training and apprenticeship is designed to prepare our BDPs for a successful transition into our Private Wealth Advisor role'.

'Business Development Professional' is the token that decides what this job is, and it is not a polite word for analyst. Read the responsibilities in two columns. One is investment work: analysing portfolios for risk and return, executing rebalancing and trades, researching internal and external vehicles for client asset allocation, relaying the firm's research and market views. The other is bringing money in: sourcing new prospective clients through cold outreach, owning the team's client relationship management system, running new business meetings, sitting in on prospect meetings. The destination the page names - Private Wealth Advisor - is the second column as a career. If you want to be an investor, this is an apprenticeship in advising and selling, with investing attached.
The team is Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management, which the posting says 'specializes in creating comprehensive wealth management plans for ultra high net worth individuals and families, as well as select institutions, including foundations and endowments'. PWM teams work one-on-one with clients on customised strategies, and Private Wealth Advisors deliver the full Goldman product and service offering, which may include tax and estate planning, philanthropic planning and private banking and lending. The BDP works alongside those advisers and liaises with product groups inside Investment Management to respond to client needs. Source
7 people have held London roles in Goldman Sachs' Wealth Management unit since 2018 - one of the smallest London units for the firm. Picture a set of small advisory teams rather than a floor: a BDP here is visible from week one, and there is no class to hide in.
Goldman describes itself on this page as a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm, founded in 1869, headquartered in New York, with offices around the world. Source
779 people have held London roles at Goldman Sachs as a whole since 2018, of whom the wealth business is a small fraction.
This is a lateral hire and the page makes no attempt to disguise it: at least five years of financial markets experience, on Goldman's mid-career board, with a corporate title of Associate. It is not a graduate route and it is not an internship. What it tells a student is narrower and still useful - the London PWM team is building the bench beneath its Private Wealth Advisors, and the job it is building towards is a client-facing one.
No deadline is stated and the Start line reads 26 July 2026, so it has been open around six weeks. Seats like this close when someone accepts. If you are in the five-year band and want the advisory path, that is an apply-now, not a wait-for-the-window.
Required: a bachelor's degree; at least five years of financial markets experience within PWM, investing or sales trading; and an interest in pursuing a career as a Private Wealth Advisor. Also listed: the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and think clearly under pressure, strong interest in financial markets and good investment sense or commercial instinct, the ability to multi-task with partners across the firm, entrepreneurial spirit in a team environment, excellent verbal and written communication, strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build a network of relationships, creative problem-solving, and strong project management and organisational skills.

Read the experience line precisely, because it is wider than it first looks. It asks for five years in financial markets 'within PWM, investing or sales trading' - not five years in wealth management. Someone on a markets desk who wants to move to the client side is inside the stated bar. The line that is genuinely a filter is the next one: an interest in becoming a Private Wealth Advisor. This team is hiring its future advisers, so an application that reads as 'I want an investment seat' is answering a different question from the one being asked.
1 person. Their role, the page the firm names them on, and how to reach them
Search their name and the firm on LinkedIn.
The route that always works, and the one they are most likely to read.
The firm publishes this person, and publishes no address we could read for anyone here, so there is no pattern to show you either. Search their name and firm on LinkedIn and write from your own account.
Next: read the briefing above, then sign in and track Goldman Sachs so you hear within the hour when it posts again.
