Who we’re looking for

We are looking for a highly analytical and proactive individual who combines strong operational discipline with a continuous improvement mindset.

Wealth Management business.

The successful candidate will be intellectually curious, comfortable working with data, and motivated by improving how work gets done rather than simply executing established processes.

Experience in Wealth Management is not essential. Candidates with experience in finance operations, billing, revenue administration, accounting or other operational finance environments are encouraged to apply.
