Trust Administrator

What if you could have the autonomy of managing meaningful trust relationships—without feeling like you’re doing it all alone?

Insight Recruitment is conducting a confidential search for an experienced Trust Administrator to join the established Trust Department of a highly respected Nebraska financial institution.

This is an opportunity for a trust, fiduciary or estate-planning professional who wants substantial responsibility, interesting and complex client relationships, and something that can be surprisingly difficult to find in this field:

Rather than being handed a portfolio and expected to operate as the "Lone Ranger," you’ll work alongside experienced Trust Administrators with dedicated trust operations and administrative support behind you.

The team regularly comes together to discuss accounts, troubleshoot complex situations and share knowledge. You’ll have the independence expected of an experienced professional without the isolation that can sometimes come with it.

You’ll assume responsibility for a substantial portfolio that may include approximately 250–300 accounts representing $275–$300 million in assets
.

Your work will include:

• Personal trusts and estates
• Fiduciary and agency relationships
• Agricultural and real estate assets
• Foundations
• IRAs and related accounts
• Multigenerational family relationships

You’ll serve as a trusted point of contact for clients and beneficiaries while collaborating with attorneys, CPAs, tax professionals and other advisors.

• Administering trusts, estates, agencies and other fiduciary relationships
• Interpreting trust and estate documents and determining fiduciary responsibilities
• Building long‑term relationships with clients, beneficiaries and families
• Coordinating with legal, tax and other outside professionals
• Ensuring tax and other account obligations are properly addressed
• Collaborating closely with Trust Operations and fellow Trust Administrators
• Participating in regular meetings where the team reviews accounts and works through complex situations together
• Maintaining relationships with attorneys and other centers of influence
• Helping retain client relationships and assets across generations
• Bringing forward ideas that can improve processes and continue moving the department forward

This is a relationship-driven fiduciary role—not a quota-driven sales position. New business develops largely through strong client relationships, professional relationships and referrals.

You’ll have experienced colleagues plus dedicated operational and administrative support behind you. When a difficult trust, estate or family situation arises, you have people to collaborate with.

This is a significant portfolio with sophisticated trust and estate relationships—not a role where you’ll spend your first year trying to build a book from scratch.

The leadership team has intentionally created greater collaboration, clarity and transparency. They’re interested in someone who will contribute ideas and help continue improving how the department operates.

For someone who wants to advance, there is potential long‑term succession opportunity within Trust leadership. If leadership isn’t your goal, there is also room to build a rewarding long‑term career as an individual contributor.

Many of these are long‑standing, multigenerational relationships. You’ll get to know clients and families rather than simply process transactions.
