Full Job Description
Job Description

Provides strategic and operational leadership for multiple business-critical programs within Experienced Advisor Recruiting (EAR), including recruiting events, organizational compliance and risk programs, and workforce onboarding and offboarding. Partners with EAR leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to identify priorities, shape strategic agendas, make informed business decisions, and drive initiatives from planning through implementation. Accountable for program effectiveness, issue resolution, stakeholder alignment, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities
  • Own the end-to-end management of EAR recruiting events, including VIP, Leadership Conferences, Search Firm Summit, and town halls. Establish program plans, timelines, roles, decision points, communications, registration processes, content requirements, onsite execution plans, and follow-up activities. Independently assess and resolve complex participant, field leader, candidate, vendor, and operational issues; balance business objectives, candidate experience, policy considerations, and resource constraints; and determine when escalation if warranted.
  • Partner with EAR leadership to develop and manage forward-looking agendas for senior-leader meetings and strategic forums. Maintain visibility into organizational priorities, identify emerging issues and decision points, recommend topics for leadership consideration, coordinate development of executive-ready content, and ensure decisions and action items are translated into clear ownership and execution. Connect related initiatives across EAR and enterprise partners to improve leadership alignment and organizational effectiveness.
  • Serve as the EAR lead and primary liaison for Business Unit Compliance Liaison (BUCL), Business Continuity Planning (BCP), ADTRAX submissions, and related governance and risk programs. Interpret requirements, assess organizational impacts, coordinate deliverables with compliance, risk, and business partners, maintain appropriate documentation, and drive timely completion of required activities. Partner with AMPI resources to manage the effective onboarding and offboarding of Recruiting Directors and Divisional Directors, resolve process issues, and ensure operational readiness.
  • Evaluate assigned programs and processes to identify pain points, operational risks, scalability needs, and opportunities to improve effectiveness.

Establish consistent practices, tools, communications, and measures that strengthen execution while reducing the need for day-to-day leadership involvement.
