Lead with Purpose. Empower with Impact. Join Us as a Team Leader.

Are you ready to lead a high-performing team and shape the future of client experience? We’re hiring Team Leaders for two dynamic areas—each offering a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference:

Role 1: SD Plus M1 Team Leader

Lead 10–12 corporate crew members in a traditional setting, serving clients in the $1M–$5M range. You’ll guide your team across all primary intents, ensuring exceptional service and strategic impact.

Role 2: Client Service Excellence Center (CSEC) Team Leader Lead 10–12 remote CSEC crew members, driving excellence in a virtual environment. You’ll champion innovation and collaboration while supporting diverse SD+ client needs.

What makes leading in CSEC Different?

• CSEC Crew are fully remote
• The CSEC role is one level – CSEC Crew are not eligible for promotional opportunities Development of these crew is centered around subject matter expertise and customer service excellence
• Opportunities to shape what the future of CSEC looks like

What Makes These Roles Stand Out?

Crew & Client Centricity You’ll be at the heart of it all—balancing business strategy, crew development, and client satisfaction. Your leadership will directly influence how we serve High-Net-Worth clients and empower crew with the tools they need to succeed.

Thrive in Ambiguity These roles are for bold thinkers who embrace complexity. You’ll navigate unique client scenarios, lead through change, and bring clarity to uncertainty—all while keeping the client at the center.

Critical Thinking & Strategy You’ll help shape our model vision and priorities, making tough calls and facilitating smart compromises. Your ability to say “no” or “not now” when needed will be just as important as knowing when to say “yes.”

Relationship Management & Communication From IT to the front line to senior leadership, you’ll communicate with clarity and purpose. Whether it’s a presentation, a visual, or a one-on-one conversation, your message will resonate.

Collaboration Across the Enterprise You’ll work cross-functionally to identify opportunities, improve processes, and implement solutions that elevate the client experience—leveraging the power of the VMS.

Business Impact & Exposure You’ll play a key role in defining and executing strategy for Self-Directed Plus, with a focus on cross-trained Investments and Retirement journeys. Your work will shape the future of how we serve clients.

Business & Technical Acumen Whether you bring experience in Retirement, Investments, or another area, your curiosity and drive to learn will set you apart. We’re looking for quick learners who are ready to grow.
