About The Position

We’re looking for a Wealth Operations Training Consultant who can bridge the worlds of financial advisory workflows, portfolio management operations and modern SaaS onboarding. This role is a key part of our client onboarding experience—working alongside our Configuration Specialists and Onboarding Project Managers to ensure firms transition smoothly from their current tech stack to our platform. This is not a pure “trainer” role. It’s a consultative, client-facing SME role for someone who understands how RIAs actually run: trading, billing, performance reporting, custodial nuances, model management and the day-to-day workflows that keep advisory businesses moving. You’ll uncover how clients used their old systems, advise them on how to adapt those workflows within our platform, train their teams, and surface gaps, risks, or unrealistic expectations early. You’ll also help internal teams understand complex client needs and you’ll be a voice of reason—making sure we pursue the best solutions for our clients. If you enjoy the mix of teaching, translating, advising, and challenging clients — this is the spot.

Requirements

7+ years in training, onboarding, consulting, or client-facing roles within a financial technology, RIA, or wealth-management environment.
Strong understanding of advisory firm operational processes (e.g., trading, rebalancing, billing, reporting, client servicing).
Ability to quickly understand and explain complex concepts to advisors, ops teams, and firm leadership.
Experience delivering both instructor-led and virtual training to audiences of varying skill levels.
Excellent communication, facilitation, and presentation skills.
Strong organizational skills; able to manage multiple concurrent onboarding engagements.
Ability to travel up to 40% (client meetings, training, conferences).
Comfortable working in a hybrid environment (3 days in office preferred; remote considered for exceptional candidates).

Nice To Haves

Experience working within an RIA, broker-dealer, TAMP, or custodial operations environment.
Hands-on experience with advisory workflows such as: Model management & drift handling Trading & allocations Sleeved accounts / UMA structures Billing methodologies (AUM, tiered, flat-fee, householding) Portfolio accounting or performance reporting
Prior experience with CRM or portfolio management platforms.
Experience partnering with Product teams on feature readiness or release validation.
Former Series 7/63/65/66 or other wealth-management designations (active or inactive).
