Registered Client Service Associate/Office Manager

Who We Are At EQ Private Wealth Advisors, we don’t just manage portfolios. We serve as the Financial Directors of our clients' lives—helping them navigate their futures through sophisticated financial planning strategies and comprehensive wealth management. We are a high-touch, boutique firm where our clients are treated as family and friends, not account numbers. We’ve stepped away from the "corporate chain" model to build a practice rooted in deep relationships, trust, and a commitment to "Unreasonable Hospitality." The Role We are seeking a Director of Client Operations to be the "Anchor" of our firm. This is a role for a highly organized, detailed oriented, and licensed professional who takes pride in "owning the ecosystem." You are the "Safe Pair of Hands" that ensures nothing falls through the cracks, allowing our advisors to focus entirely on strategy while you ensure the office and our clients are meticulously cared for. This is a full-time, in-office position based in our Palos Verdes office. We believe the best collaboration and the highest level of service happen when we are working side-by-side.

Chief of Staff Mindset: You take pride in being the engine that keeps the firm running, ensuring the advisors are supported and the client experience is flawless.

Operations & Workflow Mastery: You will execute money movement, trades, and account maintenance with 100% accuracy using Wealthbox CRM and our custodial platforms, LPL Financial and Schwab . Advisor Support & Meeting Readiness: You ensure advisors are perfectly prepared for every meeting—files are ready, tech is tested, and the follow-up process is already in motion. Event Architect: You will take the lead on organizing 3–4 intimate, high-quality client events per year , managing everything from the guest list to the final "wow" detail. Qualifications The Essentials: Active Series 7 and Series 66 (or 63 and 65) licenses are required . Experience: 5+ years in wealth management. We are looking for someone with the industry "mileage" to handle ACATS, RMDs, and Trust documentation without a learning curve. Technical Savvy: Proficiency with Wealthbox , LPL ClientWorks , or Schwab Advisor Center is a significant plus. Salary: $85,000 – $120,000 (based on experience, professional designation, and licensing). Retirement: 401(k) plan with a Safe Harbor match . Health Benefits Available Work Culture: A collaborative, boutique environment in the South Bay—skip the DTLA/Century City commute and work in the community where you live. Growth: We are committed to your professional development and long-term career path as a leader within the firm. #J-18808-Ljbffr EQ Private Wealth Advisors
