• Process documentation and SOP creation
• Internal workflow and project tracking across Cross Financial and Current (formerly Crete Professionals Alliance) partner firms

Qualifications

• Financial services or RIA operations professionals with 5+ years of experience
• Working experience with Charles Schwab platform
• Self-directed, highly organized individuals who excel in remote environments
• Strong communicators who can manage client and internal interactions confidently

• Someone who wants to be indispensable, not interchangeable

Strongly Preferred (But Not Required)

• Tools or Platforms: Salesforce, HubSpot, and/or Advyzon experience
• Client service experience in advisory environments
• Task, workflow, and deadline management expertise
• Exposure to trust and estate planning processes

Why Cross Financial

• High-trust, high-responsibility role with direct access to leadership
