Important information before you apply.

How much time is required?

The model is flexible. We expect a minimum meaningful commitment, typically from around five hours per week, with greater commitment supporting faster portfolio growth.

How is commission structured?

The detailed commission structure is discussed with shortlisted candidates and is linked to originated relationships, contract value and duration.

Will my relationships be protected?

Qualified opportunities registered through the agreed CRM process may receive relationship protection, subject to the Partnership Agreement and account governance rules.
