Senior Director, Fixed Income Strategy & Advisor Enablement

BNY Wealth is seeking a dynamic and market-savvy Head of Fixed Income Strategy & Advisor Enablement to lead the strategy, positioning, and engagement around fixed income solutions for our wealth clients.

This leader will serve as a senior fixed income expert for the business, bringing deep bond market investment expertise, strong commercial instincts, and the emotional intelligence (EQ) needed to build trust across advisors, clients, and partners.

• Act as a highly credible, market-facing representative who can sell fixed income ideas, solutions, and capabilities internally and externally.
• Translate market developments, rate trends, credit dynamics, and macroeconomic conditions into actionable perspectives for advisors and clients.
• Support advisors in identifying client needs and positioning fixed income solutions appropriately across portfolios.
• Build strong, collaborative relationships across the wealth organization, serving as a trusted partner to the field.
• Deliver presentations, participate in client meetings, and represent BNY Wealth in advisor, client, and industry settings.
• Travel as needed to meet with advisors, clients, and business partners across markets.
• Provide insight into fixed income portfolio construction, risk management, and investment implementation based on prior hands-on investment experience.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders across investments, product, distribution, and leadership to help shape the fixed income offering and go-to-market approach.

• Significant experience in fixed income investing, bond markets, and wealth or investment advisory environments.
• Prior experience in fixed income portfolio management or a closely related investment role, with the ability to speak credibly about portfolio construction and implementation.
• Strong commercial orientation, with demonstrated ability to influence, engage, and sell investment ideas and solutions.
• High level of emotional intelligence (EQ), with exceptional relationship-building, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Proven ability to partner effectively with field teams and advisors in a collaborative, client-focused environment.
• Excellent presentation skills and executive presence.
• Willingness and ability to travel as needed.

• Combination of investment depth and business development capability.
• Strong understanding of how fixed income solutions fit within broader client portfolios and wealth management objectives.
• Ability to simplify complex market concepts for a range of audiences, from advisors to sophisticated clients.
• Collaborative, strategic, and highly credible leader who can operate effectively across investment and distribution teams.
