About the Role
Savvy is seeking a detail-oriented operator to manage the process of moving newly signed advisors' client books onto Savvy's platform, ensuring a smooth and precise transition. This role is crucial for Savvy's growth and directly impacts the initial experience of new advisors.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end transition of assigned advisors’ books across custodians, from paperwork generation through completed account transfers.
- Prepare, validate, and submit account paperwork with a low NIGO (not-in-good-order) rate, catching data issues before they cause delays.
- Run data preparation and validation to ensure accuracy.
- Act as the dedicated day-to-day point of contact for transitioning advisors, communicating proactively and keeping each transition on schedule.
- Coordinate across custodians, vendors, and internal teams (Operations, Product, Client Servicing) to unblock transitions.
- Balance multiple concurrent transitions while maintaining clear communication with stakeholders and staying adaptive in a rapidly evolving environment.
- Monitor and report on transition progress and flag risk situations early.
- Contribute to improving the team’s capabilities by enhancing existing processes and helping build scalable, automated workflows.
Requirements
- 3 to 5+ years in a client operations, account transitions, onboarding, or account management role in wealth management.
- Exceptional resourcefulness and a very quick learning curve — you can pick up new custodial platforms and tools on your own, fast.
- Hands-on experience working across multiple custodians and a strong grasp of account transfer / onboarding paperwork.
- Exceptional organization and attention to detail across many parallel, deadline-driven workstreams.
- Strong data hygiene instincts — comfort with spreadsheets and validation logic, and the discipline to catch errors before they compound.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the empathy and confidence to keep advisors calm and informed under pressure.
- A collaborative, low-ego, self-starter attitude with an incredible ownership mentality.
- Tech-savvy and adept at quickly learning and adopting new technologies, including AI tools.
- Comfort working in a high-growth, constantly changing environment.
- Direct experience with Schwab and/or Fidelity custodial platforms.
- Familiarity with ACAT transfers, LPOA/repaper processes, NIGO resolution, DocuSign, Orion, or Salesforce.
- Comfort with Excel/Google Sheets at a power-user level (lookups, data validation, cleaning messy files).
- Prior work experience at a high-growth startup or a custodian, RIA, and broker-dealer.
- Experience using AI tools to accelerate data or document work (validation, drafting, summarization).
