Supporting every step of your family office recruitment journey
Japan’s family office market is growing as business owners, founders and multi generational families formalise structures to manage significant domestic and overseas assets. Many family offices face talent shortages, complex tax requirements and the need for professionals who can work across traditional investment approaches and newer global strategies.
Diverse pool of family office talent
Japanese family offices often look for bilingual professionals who can manage local portfolios while supporting international expansion. Through our global network, we source investment managers, tax and legal specialists and operational leaders who combine technical strength with cultural sensitivity.
Industry knowledge in wealth management
Japan’s landscape includes intricate inheritance rules, multi entity business structures and conservative investment preferences. Our recruiters understand these dynamics and focus on candidates who can manage both stability focused mandates and selective moves into global or alternative assets.
Efficient family office hiring solutions
Many Japanese family offices operate with small teams and face long hiring cycles due to limited specialist talent. We streamline the process by prioritising candidates who match your values, communication style and long-term goals, helping you secure trusted professionals faster.
Long-term partnerships
We work alongside Japanese family offices on investment, operations and succession-related hiring. As your needs evolve, we remain a long-term partner, helping you build teams that protect wealth and support continuity across generations.
At Selby Jennings, we help single and multi-family offices secure the specialist talent they need to manage, preserve, and grow generational wealth. From investment professionals and estate planners to risk managers and operational leads, we specialise in connecting discreet, high-calibre candidates with trusted family office environments.
Whether you're building out your investment team, upgrading your back-office operations, or strengthening governance and succession planning, our expertise spans a wide range of mid-to-senior level roles that are strategic, bespoke, and highly compensated.
