  • Coordinate the performance management cycle: goal setting, reviews, and ongoing accountability
  • Foster clear expectations, strong communication, and ownership across departments
  • Help build a positive, high-performing culture


Operational Execution

  • Maintain and improve systems, workflows, and processes across client service and planning functions
  • Ensure operational consistency across the firm
  • Build infrastructure that scales with firm growth

Strategic Integration

  • Serve as the integrator between firm vision and daily execution
  • Translate partner priorities into actionable plans with clear owners and deadlines
  • Give partners consistent visibility into operational health, team performance, and emerging issues


Qualifications

  • 5+ years of operational leadership experience, including developing emerging leaders into management roles
  • Familiarity with EOS or similar operating frameworks
  • Proven ability to drive team accountability and performance
  • Strong facilitation and communication skills
  • High attention to detail, organizational capability and consistent follow-through
