+ Support financial advisors with moderately complex client investment portfolio scenarios to deliver more personalized, tax-efficient, and robust portfolio construction and portfolio transition advice (i.e., asset allocation, tax minimization, optimal investments, asset location), in alignment with firm advice and guidance.
+ Provide tailored, dedicated, and ongoing advanced level case management support to meet the needs of our high-net-worth clients based on client objectives, risk profile, account mandates, and personal preferences.
+ Actively contribute to key initiatives/projects within the WMC department and across the WMAS division, in collaboration with internal/external stakeholders, that enables the firm's evolution to deliver strong goals-based advice, financial planning, and asset management services.
+ Work in partnership with WMC internal stakeholder groups to identify opportunities and/or recommend value add enhancements to current workflow processes.
+ Manage branch team/client escalations and direct resources to achieve the right results.
+ Have strong understanding of industry trends, competitors, and regulatory changes - assess how these themes impact our fee-based program offerings (Core Wealth, Signature Experience), the implementation of firm advice and guidance, and the ability to deliver the personalization sought by current and prospective clients.
+ Achieve results through others, by helping to train and onboard newer associates on the team and across WMC department.
