Operations Specialist (Career Growth Path)

Job Title: Operations Specialist (Career Growth Path)

Location: New York, NY (In-Office)

Compensation: $85,000 – $110,000 Base Salary + Performance Bonus

The Opportunity

Join a premier, high-growth wealth management firm managing over $1.2 Billion in AUM . We specialize in comprehensive financial planning for  physicians and are one of the fastest-growing branches within the  Osaic network. As we scale at over 30% per year, we are looking for a foundational operations professional who wants to build a long-term career with us.

Long-Term Career Path

We are seeking a candidate who truly enjoys the operations side of wealth management and intends to stay and grow in this field for several years. This is not a "stepping stone" to becoming an advisor; it is a path to operational leadership (Operations Manager, Lead Operations or Chief Compliance Officer). 

Core Responsibilities

• Independent Execution: You are a self-starter who  does not need to be micromanaged . You own your desk, manage your own schedule, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Account Setup Excellence: Take full ownership of the end-to-end opening process for Individual, Joint, 529, and Entity accounts. You ensure every document is submitted correctly the first time, proactively catching errors to guarantee a smooth experience.
• FA Partnership & Feedback: Act as a true partner to our Financial Advisors. This includes understanding their priorities, managing expectations, and  providing regular feedback on task status.
• Critical Deadline Support: Lead the charge during peak periods ( Tax Season and Year-End ) on last-minute account openings, funding, and contribution/distribution requests.
• Money Movement & Funding: Execute ACAT/non-ACAT transfers, wires, and check distributions. Proactively assist advisors with the formal funding of  Revocable Trusts .
• Retirement & Tax Support: Oversee  RMDs, QCDs, Rollovers, and DAFs . You must be able to spot and fix errors—such as  IRA over-contributions —before they cause tax issues.

Technical Requirements

• Experience: Minimum 2-3 years specifically supporting Financial Advisors in an operations role.
• Mandatory Skills: You must have extensive, hands-on experience  opening new accounts and managing the full  Rollover processing lifecycle.
• Platform Mastery: Understanding of the broader Broker-Dealer/RIA landscape (e.g., Schwab, NFS) and how to resolve  NIGO issues independently is a major plus.
• The "Error Anticipator": You look three steps ahead to prevent mistakes before they happen.

Benefits & Perks

• Retirement: 401(k) plan with firm contribution/match.
• Health: Comprehensive Health, Dental and Vision insurance.
• Time Off: Paid Time Off (PTO) package.
• Bonus: Annual performance-based incentives tied to accuracy and firm growth.
