About the Role:

A Senior Wealth Advisor is an experienced financial professional who can work within a team structure to manage a large book of business encompassing business development, financial planning, asset management, pipeline management, and a high-level understanding of most client financial considerations. This role encompasses a multi-faceted wealth management model. This individual will need to continue to enhance their skillset to stay relevant and effective in an ever-evolving industry.

This individual will also lead within the organization as a top-line professional, establishing and sharing best practices in segmentation, client engagement processes, team dynamics, and relationship management both internally and with clients. A Senior Wealth Advisor may manage clients linked to a group of branches, business/commercial clients, or function as a “hub” or “second floor” advisor for an existing book of business. This individual should have the skillset to manage client relationships at any asset level, tapping into any resources at their disposal to provide an optimal experience and results for the client.

As with all Wealth Advisors, the client must come first in all situations and the record of any applicant should reflect this standard. The Senior Wealth Advisor is expected to consistently maintain and build a book of business, both individually and/or within an established team, which may include additional Wealth Advisors, Client Service Specialists, Private Bankers, and Wealth Strategists. We are part of a community bank, and this individual should be integrated into their community as a go-to subject matter expert for existing clients, prospective clients, and colleagues.
