Relationship Manager

Willow Street collaborates with families and their advisors to provide guidance and administration for Nevada and Wyoming fiduciary structures. Founded in 2005, we offer professional trustee services to clients seeking a responsive, relationship-focused fiduciary through our publicly chartered trust companies. We also partner with families who establish their own private family trust companies, specializing in advisory, governance, and operational support for these structures.

The Relationship Manager (RM) is the primary client-facing member of Willow Street's Client Services team. Whether named as a fiduciary on a client relationship or not, the RM behaves as if they are, with the utmost discretion, confidentiality and respect for client's privacy. Providing excellent and responsive client service as well as oversight of all client deliverables, governance and coordination are essential to excelling in this role.
