Work History

Client Relationship Manager

Old Mutual Head Office
09.2025 - Current

As a Client Relationship Manager, I act as the primary point of contact between clients and the financial adviser, ensuring that clients’ financial needs and requirements are understood and addressed efficiently.

My responsibilities include liaising with clients to understand their financial objectives, requirements, and circumstances, and coordinating appointments with the financial adviser. Following client discussions and adviser consultations, I prepare tailored financial proposals, including voluntary and compulsory income solutions, investment products, and risk products.

I manage the end-to-end application process, including preparing and submitting applications, coordinating and conducting medical assessments where required, monitoring applications through the underwriting and processing stages, and ensuring that cases are successfully issued. Once policies or investments are issued, I provide clients with their contracts and relevant documentation.

I also assist with ongoing client servicing by processing policy amendments and changes, addressing policy-related queries, and providing clients with continued support and assistance throughout the life of their financial products. My role is focused on delivering efficient, professional, and client-focused service while ensuring that applications and administrative processes are completed accurately and within the required timeframes.
