Client Operations Manager

We are a growing, dedicated team of financial professionals, mathematicians, financial engineers, software developers working together to transform the field of wealth management. We aim to make portfolio management frictionless, enabling every investor to benefit from levels of customization and tax management that were once the exclusive preserve of ultra-high net worth investors.

We are devoted to doing things right, bringing a fiduciary standard of care to all that we do.

Success in this role will translate to proficient Smartleaf users who are getting real value out of using the system.
