Client Services Manager

Client Services & Experience Manager

Franklin, TN
· In-Office
· Full-Time
· Fee-Only Fiduciary RIA

Flagship Financial Advisors is a fee‑only, fiduciary registered investment advisory firm serving families and retirees from our offices in Franklin, TN and Huntsville, AL. We are a family‑owned practice with no outside or institutional ownership, built on a simple idea: clients deserve advice that is always in their best interest, delivered by people who genuinely care about their outcomes.

Our work centers on helping clients turn a lifetime of savings into a dependable retirement “paycheck” they can count on. That mission only works when every client interaction reflects the same warmth, responsiveness, and attention to detail — and as we grow, we need a leader who can protect and elevate that experience every single day. That’s where this role comes in.

We’re looking for an experienced, proactive Client Services & Experience Manager to be the operational backbone of our growing practice and the steady hand behind a truly exceptional client experience. You’ll own the day‑to‑day service relationship — onboarding, account maintenance, custodial coordination, and proactive follow‑through — while refining how the firm runs and partnering with advisors so they can stay focused on planning and relationships.

This is a high‑trust, client‑facing leadership position for someone who takes pride in things being done right and on time. If you’re the kind of person clients remember by name, who anticipates needs before they’re voiced, and who finds genuine satisfaction in a clean, well‑run operation, we’d love to meet you.
