An exceptional opportunity has arisen to join a growing and ambitious wealth management business in a key leadership position.

We are looking for an experienced Director of Operations to take responsibility for the day-to-day operational performance of the business, leading and developing the teams that support its Financial Planners and ensuring clients continue to receive an outstanding level of service.

This is a highly visible role within the senior leadership team and will suit someone who combines strong people leadership with excellent operational and commercial judgement
.

You will have responsibility for leading the operational function, creating an environment where people perform at their best and where processes, service standards and controls support the continued growth of the business.

You’ll be an accomplished people manager who is comfortable leading experienced teams, managing change and making decisions.

Just as importantly, you’ll understand what excellent operational support looks like within a financial planning business and how the right structure, processes and culture can enable advisers to grow and deliver an exceptional client experience.

This is much more than a traditional operations management position.

It is an opportunity to take on a senior and influential leadership role within a growing wealth management business
