Job description

In an increasingly complex world where people are starving for someone they can trust, we stand for something simple: always put the client first. We do well by doing good for those we serve. It’s the ultimate measure. We believe in providing value beyond a doubt and in the notion that time will either expose you or promote you, based on your willingness to embrace change.

We serve financial advisors and investors through three entities, each headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska: Carson Wealth, Carson Coaching and Carson Partners. We provide coaching and partnership services to advisor firms – and straightforward financial advice to the investing public. We all share a common mission to be the most trusted in financial advice.

Who We Want

Provide advanced operational guidance throughout the partner-office transition process and serve as a senior subject matter expert. Support Transition Operations Consultants as a first-level escalation resource, helping resolve complex issues and coordinate transition activities. Collaborate with advisors, office staff, custodians, third-party providers, and internal departments to deliver a consistent, efficient onboarding experience. Develop and improve workflows, document best practices, and strengthen the accuracy and consistency of transition operations. Lead assigned projects and workstreams to support timely completion of operational responsibilities and improve scalability.

Maintain a comprehensive understanding of operational requirements and dependencies across departments. Take ownership of assigned activities when a partner office officially joins Carson and ensure required responsibilities are completed.
• Account Operations & Custodian Support: Work with custodians to monitor paperwork, account-opening activities, and transfer statuses. Review paperwork prepared by third-party providers and identify potential issues before they affect transition timelines. Maintain knowledge of applicable custodian products, procedures, forms, and operational requirements.
• Systems & Operational Tracking: Support case management, Salesforce and DocuSign reporting, resolution of paperwork that is not in good order, and other operational tracking activities. Serve as a DocuSign subject matter expert and troubleshoot system issues. Monitor transition progress, identify risks and barriers,
  and communicate status and recommended actions to management and stakeholders.
• Training & Knowledge Sharing: Present and support recurring transition meetings and training sessions covering operational processes, systems, paperwork, and best practices. Coach and guide less-experienced team members. Work with internal departments to remain current on new products, procedures, systems, and operational requirements.
• Workflow Development & Process Improvement: Develop, review, document, and improve operational workflows to increase efficiency, accuracy, consistency, and scalability. Collect and share best practices across partner-office transitions and incorporate successful approaches into standard processes.
• Project & Workstream Management: Lead assigned projects and workstreams by establishing timelines, coordinating stakeholders, tracking deliverables, and communicating progress. Ensure follow-up, accountability, and completion of responsibilities across internal and external stakeholders.
• Service & Collaboration: Provide responsive, professional service to partner offices, advisors, staff, custodians, and internal stakeholders. Collaborate across departments to achieve transition goals and maintain service quality. Perform other duties as assigned.
• Other Duties: Perform additional tasks, duties, and responsibilities as needed or assigned by leadership to support departmental and organizational objectives.
