Senior Advisor Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

Job Description Summary

Complex transactions. Sensitive client circumstances. Decisions that matter.
The Senior Advisor, Supervision helps protect Raymond James clients and the firm by reviewing money movement activity, identifying potential fraud or financial exploitation, and resolving supervisory matters that do not always have a straightforward answer. This role is for someone who remains calm under pressure, follows the facts, exercises sound judgment, and communicates decisions clearly.
You will independently review and approve day-to-day money movement activity while partnering with financial advisors, branch and regional leadership, Fraud, and other teams to investigate concerns and determine appropriate action. You may also be cross-trained to support Dispute Resolution (DR) and Senior & At-Risk Clients (SARC) and may transition temporarily or permanently among these functions based on business needs. The work can be complex-but it makes a meaningful difference.

• Explain supervisory concerns, decisions, and required actions clearly-even when the conversation is sensitive or the answer is not the one requested.

• Maintain current knowledge of regulations, firm policies, and emerging money movement risks and apply that knowledge consistently.

• When assigned, investigate customer disputes and evaluate matters involving senior and at-risk clients.

• Identify trends, recurring issues, and opportunities to strengthen supervisory practices, processes, controls, policies, and procedures.

• Take ownership of matters from initial review through documented resolution and perform other responsibilities as assigned.

Skill In:

• Critical thinking and sound judgment, including the ability to interpret requirements and apply them to complex or unusual circumstances.

• Clear, confident written and verbal communication with clients, financial advisors, branch managers, regional leadership, and internal partners.

• Professional composure during sensitive, challenging, or high-stakes conversations.

• Partner effectively: Build trust across Supervision, Operations, Fraud, branches, and regional leadership, and work through differing perspectives to reach appropriate outcomes.

• See the broader risk: Look beyond an individual transaction when circumstances may indicate fraud, financial exploitation, inappropriate activity, or another heightened concern.

• Own the outcome: Carry matters from initial review through resolution, manage priorities independently, follow through, and document decisions and actions completely.

• Adapt and learn: Respond effectively to changing priorities, regulations, emerging risks, and business needs, including assignments across DR, SARC, and Money Movement.
