Wealth Services Manager Jobs in Ridgewood, NJ (NOW HIRING)

About the role
Wealth Services is a strategic growth area, and we are seeking an experienced Product Manager to help shape, scale, and modernize the capabilities that support our wealth clients, relationship teams, operations partners, and technology stakeholders.
This role will focus on improving the end-to-end Wealth Services experience by clarifying client and business needs, reducing operational friction, strengthening service quality, and enabling teams to deliver scalable, resilient, and differentiated wealth capabilities.
We view Wealth Services as a product-led business capability. Success in this role will come from understanding client, advisor, operations, and business needs deeply, validating opportunities through discovery, and ensuring delivery investments are focused on the outcomes that matter most.
Working closely with Wealth business leaders, client-facing teams, Operations, Technology, Risk, Compliance, Design, and Experience Research, you will use qualitative insights, quantitative data, feedback, and operating metrics to shape product priorities and decisions.
A key part of the role will be partnering with business and technology teams to establish and manage dual discovery and delivery tracks. Discovery will help teams identify the right client, commercial, operational, and control problems, test assumptions, and build confidence before delivery moves forward.
This is a highly collaborative role with senior visibility across Wealth Services and Global Technology, offering the opportunity to influence how the firm delivers better outcomes for wealth clients at scale.
What you'll do

• Develop a deep understanding of Wealth Services clients, business processes, operating models, service journeys, and technology capabilities

• Establish and manage dual discovery and delivery tracks with business, operations, and technology partners
• Define product strategy, roadmaps, outcomes, and success measures for Wealth Services capabilities
• Prioritize opportunities that improve client experience, operational efficiency, service quality, risk management, and commercial impact
• Work closely with Technology, Architecture, Security, Data, Operations, and business teams to deliver scalable, compliant, and resilient solutions
• Define and track adoption, client satisfaction, operational performance, control effectiveness, and business outcomes
• Communicate product vision, priorities, trade-offs, risks, and progress clearly to senior business and technology stakeholders

Impact you'll have

• Wealth clients and client-facing teams experience clearer, faster, and more consistent services
• Operational friction across key Wealth Services journeys is reduced
• Product decisions are increasingly grounded in evidence rather than assumptions
• Discovery becomes a stronger foundation for prioritization, investment decisions, and delivery
• Adoption of Wealth Services capabilities, digital tools, and self-service options increases

• Wealth Services becomes a more measurable, scalable, and differentiated contributor to the firm's growth strategy

• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills across business, operations, technology, risk, and compliance teams
