Global Banking & Markets, RIA Custody, Managed Accounts & Alternative Assets Platform, Associate - New York

About the Role

The Custody Solutions Managed Accounts Platform team owns our separately managed account (SMA) platform - the managers on it, the advisors and clients who use it, and the operating infrastructure behind it.

We''re hiring an Associate to help run that ecosystem: supporting relationships with third-party SMA managers and TAMPs, acting as a product specialist for advisors, contributing to the product roadmap, and coordinating with the operations, trading, and service functions that keep the platform running.

It suits someone early-to-mid career who is equally comfortable in front of an advisor and in the detail of an operational workflow - and who wants exposure across the full product lifecycle rather than a single narrow function.

Key Responsibilities

Manager & TAMP Relationship Management and Onboarding

• Execute onboarding of new SMA managers and TAMPs - coordinating due diligence, contracting, model delivery setup, operational readiness, and go-live.
• Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for a portfolio of managers and TAMP partners; prepare and support periodic business reviews on flows, performance, and service quality.
• Work with Legal, Compliance, and Risk to progress agreements and ongoing oversight requirements.
• Track and report partner KPIs (assets, net flows, model delivery timeliness, error rates) and flag issues for remediation.

Client Engagement / Product Specialist

• Act as a product specialist for investment advisors and prospects - supporting platform overviews, manager deep-dives, and sales presentations.
• Support sales and relationship teams with training materials, competitive positioning, and responses to escalated client questions.

Product Development

• Contribute to the SMA/UMA roadmap - new manager and strategy additions, new capabilities, fee structures, and platform enhancements.
• Support business cases with market sizing, competitive benchmarking, economics, and operational feasibility analysis.
• Partner with Technology and Operations on requirements gathering, testing, and rollout.

Internal Coordination Across Operations, Trading, and Service

• Coordinate across operations, trading, and service to ensure accounts run to standard.
• Triage platform issues, drive root-cause resolution with the relevant teams, and identify process improvements.
• Maintain platform documentation, procedures, and controls; support audit, risk, and regulatory reviews.
• Balance project work against recurring day-to-day operating requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Background in asset management and/or RIA custody - exposure to SMAs, UMAs, model delivery, or managed account platforms at an asset manager, TAMP, broker-dealer, RIA, or custodian. [3-6] years of relevant experience.
• Client-facing capability - clear and credible communicator with advisors, clients, and external partners, with the ability to grow into senior-level settings.
• Exceptional organizational skills - manages multiple concurrent workstreams, deadlines, and stakeholders without losing detail.
• Cross-functional collaboration - gets outcomes through operations, trading, technology, legal, and sales without direct authority.
• Ownership mentality - picks up projects and unresolved needs and runs with them to completion with limited oversight.
