The Trust Operations Lead will oversee the Trust Operations function for the Rockefeller Trust Companies (RTC) - Rockefeller’s Delaware and nationally chartered (OCC-regulated) trust companies - a differentiated fiduciary offering of the Rockefeller Private Office. Reporting to the Head of Operations for Rockefeller Capital Management, this leader holds end-to-end accountability for the operating model, controls, and day-to-day execution of trust operations. The Trust Operations Lead manages a team of operations professionals and plays a major role in managing the relationship with the firm’s trust platform technology provider, ensuring the systems, processes, and controls that support fiduciary account administration are efficient, resilient, and audit-ready.

We are seeking a solutions-oriented, strategic thinker who looks around corners and thrives on delivering white glove service to internal and external clients, in line with Rockefeller’s culture of excellence. We seek a highly proactive leader and operator who anticipates control weaknesses before they materialize, pressure-tests processes, designs durable solutions that scale, and builds institutional credibility with Internal Audit, Compliance, and regulators.

• Lead, manage, and develop a team of Trust Operations professionals, establishing clear accountability, coverage, and a consistent daily operating cadence across the Delaware and nationally chartered trust companies.

• Design, implement, and own end-to-end control frameworks across systems, with clear ownership, evidence standards, and governance.
• Anticipate emerging control weaknesses early, pressure-test processes, and prevent repeat failures through proactive, prevention-first issue management.
• Manage relationships with external custodians, systems vendors, proxy voting vendors, statement vendors, and tax reporting providers; resolve complex, sensitive issues involving securities trades and trust account transactions.
• Oversee the timely and accurate completion of trust regulatory and tax reporting, including OCC fiduciary requirements (Regulation 9) and annual Reg 9 account reviews, call reports, and applicable state and federal filings, in coordination with Compliance and Tax.
• Drive complex, cross-functional workstreams and transformation initiatives with clear timelines, accountability, escalation paths, and closure of open items.
• Maintain audit-ready documentation discipline - procedures, root-cause analyses, remediation plans, and routine reporting that stand up to Internal Audit, Compliance, and regulatory scrutiny.
• Establish and run a standing governance cadence (e.g., weekly operations review, monthly controls review, and quarterly Trust Operations & Compliance Committee reporting) with defined owners and standard artifacts.
• Own centralized issue management - a single backlog for findings and incidents with severity, root cause, remediation owners, due dates, and evidence requirements.
• Contribute to the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) program in coordination with executive management, senior managers, and quality assurance.
• Make decisions regarding hiring, performance management, and staffing; evaluate performance and recommend salary actions and promotions.
