LPL Financial; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 136,000 - 227,000; Full time

Job summary

LPL Financial is seeking a Vice President, Product Management for Advisory Platforms within its Wealth Management Products organization. You will drive strategy, lead cross-functional teams, and translate roadmap into measurable deliverables for tax overlay capabilities and advisor workflows.

You will partner with senior leaders to define roadmaps, manage vendor relationships, and ensure execution of strategic initiatives that enhance the advisor experience across managed accounts and UMA/SMA

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field; MBA or other advanced degree preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in product management, management consulting, investment management, or program and project management, preferably within financial services or a related FinTech firm.
• 5+ years leading cross‑functional teams in an Agile environment, including experience driving PI planning and delivery with technology partners.
• 5+ years experience with advisory or managed account platforms — advisor workflows, trading and rebalancing, or UMA/SMA account structures.
• 5+ years experience with tax overlay, tax‑managed, or tax‑aware portfolio management capabilities strongly preferred — including tax‑loss harvesting, transition management, or overlay management services.

Responsibilities

• Partner with leadership and stakeholders to shape the Advisory Platforms strategy and vision, and own the execution of that direction end to end.
• Translate agreed strategy into a 6–24 month roadmap with clear themes, expected outcomes, and value drivers, aligned with stakeholders and dependent teams.
• Lead the product execution of LPL’s tax overlay build-out as a key component of the Advisory Platforms vision — defining capability requirements, sequencing delivery, and driving the cross-functional work needed to bring tax-managed services to market at scale.
• Define the tax overlay capability set in partnership with advisors, Advisory Programs business stakeholders, the Overlay Portfolio Management Group (OPMG), and vendor partners — including tax-loss harvesting, gain/loss budgeting, transition management, wash sale handling, tax-aware rebalancing, and client-level tax preferences.
• Drive PI deliverables for the domain — partnering with aligned technology teams through PI planning, commitment, and execution to ensure objectives are clear, dependencies and risks are identified early, and delivery stays on track.
• Own the vendor relationships for assigned advisory platforms — leading evaluation and selection, roadmap alignment, performance management, escalations, and contract and scope discussions, including RFPs and build-versus-buy analysis.
• Partner across the advisory organization and supporting functions to design the end-to-end operating model for new and enhanced advisory capabilities, including the workflows, controls, and disclosures required to operate them at scale, engaging Legal, Risk, and Compliance early.
• Partner with adjacent teams, including Model Management, to align on prioritization, sequencing, and delivery of shared capabilities with minimal impact to their own commitments.
• Define and prioritize the capabilities advisors need to run their advisory business, working from validated advisor, field, Advisory Programs, and OPMG input, and drive enablement and adoption with field, marketing, training, and service partners.
• Lead cross-functional teams and drive outcomes without direct authority; make day-to-day scope and prioritization tradeoffs within agreed strategic direction and escalating cross-product, funding, and vision-level decisions with clear options and recommendations.
• Define KPIs and success metrics — including tax overlay adoption, asset growth, and advisor-facing outcomes — and create best-in-class reporting and presentations on strategic plays and growth initiatives that are SVP+, C-Suite, and Board ready.
