What are the highest paid jobs in Scottish finance?

Powrie said: “Scotland’s asset servicing sector continues to grow, and with it an increasing demand for experienced specialist staff – particularly within oversight functions of third-party administrators and global custodians. These roles can be very technical.

“As a result, hiring organisations and potential candidates need to be supported by consultants with the requisite levels of knowledge and experience. Rachael has well over a decade of recruitment expertise, with the bulk of these focused on asset servicing. She has a fantastic track record in supporting clients and delivering a positive experience for candidates.”

O’Neill’s appointment brings the headcount at Core-Asset, led by founder and managing director Betsy Williamson, to 36.
