J.P. Morgan Wealth Management - Vice President, Wealth Planning and Advice

Vice President, Wealth Planner

Wealth Planning & Advice is a group of experts in trusts & estates, tax planning, financial planning and planning in related areas for individuals and their entities (operating businesses, private foundations, etc.). Our role is to work with advisors and their clients to educate them about wealth planning opportunities both simple (e.g., asset titling, beneficiary designations) and complex (e.g., GRATs, split-interest trusts). We provide intellectual capital to clients across the wealth continuum and will work on-on-one with clients in appropriate circumstances. Familiarity with the taxation of entities and of estates and trusts is also useful but not required. Knowledge of issues relating to securities-based compensation (restricted stock, employee stock options, performance share units, etc.), pre-liquidity planning, and concentrated position management (such as 10b5-1 plans, derivative-based transactions, and exchange funds) will also be a plus.

As a Vice President, Wealth Planner within J.P. Morgan Wealth Management, you will need a deep understanding of tax and trusts & estate laws and must be able to communicate that knowledge in a simple, non-technical way, both to communicate with our clients and also to communicate to our advisors and field leadership. You should approach clients with a goal-oriented approach; to that end, you will need to learn about the various products and platforms (investment, banking and lending) available to our advisors across USWM in order to identify issues and opportunities to engage with clients.
