As the Senior Lead Data Analyst for Advisor Client Insights, you will leverage advanced analytics and scientific techniques to uncover what advised clients care about most. Your work will focus on identifying emerging trends, concerns, and behaviors among end investors served by advisors, and translating these findings into actionable intelligence for FAS leaders and Sales Executives.
