Enterprise FinTech Implementation Lead

Implementation Project Manager

We are a growing, dedicated team of financial professionals, mathematicians, financial engineers, software developers working together to transform the field of wealth management. We aim to make portfolio management frictionless, enabling every investor to benefit from levels of customization and tax management that were once the exclusive preserve of ultra-high net worth investors.

We are devoted to doing things right, bringing a fiduciary standard of care to all that we do.

You will balance Smartleaf and client objectives while collaborating with internal and external stakeholders and executing on a defined project plan.

Success in this role will lead to client implementations being completed on schedule and new clients extracting value from the system right away.
