Allworth’s Retirement Plan Services (RPS) business partners with plan sponsors to design, improve, and govern employer-sponsored retirement programs, including 401(k), 403(b), defined benefit, and non-qualified plans, while helping participants make confident decisions.

The Director of RPS is responsible for stabilizing, leading, and optimizing the established RPS business line while serving as a key partner to advisors delivering retirement plan solutions to their clients. This role is primarily focused on protecting and enhancing an existing business by creating structure, accountability, and consistency across a function that has operated without consistent leadership, while also positioning RPS as a more effective and scalable contributor to advisor-driven growth.

This includes establishing operating rhythm, clear ownership, performance visibility, and disciplined execution against business goals. In parallel, this role plays a critical role in enabling growth by strengthening how RPS supports advisors in winning and expanding retirement plan relationships through strong plan design, RFP support, and consistent execution—ultimately improving conversion, retention, and overall performance of the RPS business.

This is an in-person, Exempt level position in our Addison,TX office.

This leader will ensure strong execution against business targets by:

• Effectively managing and retaining the current book of business
• Supporting advisors in winning and servicing retirement plans

• Monitor performance and proactively address gaps to ensure targets are met

Advisor Support & Plan Growth Enablement

• Partner closely with advisors to support retirement plan opportunities, including RFPs, plan design, and positioning
• Serve as a subject matter expert to help advisors win and retain retirement plan business
• Ensure RPS is effectively integrated into the advisor workflow as a support function
• Improve consistency and quality of proposal and client-facing materials

Client & Plan Management

• Oversee management of approximately $1B in retirement plan assets across ~200 plans
• Ensure high-quality servicing, governance, and client experience across all plans
• Drive retention of existing plans through proactive engagement and service delivery
• Standardize service models and expectations across clients

Team Leadership

• Lead and develop a small team (relationship managers and administrative support)
• Operate as a player-coach—willing to engage directly in plan support, advisor enablement, and client situations when needed
• Establish clear roles, performance expectations, and accountability standards

• Ensure appropriate resource allocation to support advisor needs and client demands

Operational Discipline & Process Improvement

• Implement consistent processes for plan management, advisor support, and internal coordination
• Improve efficiency and clarity in how work flows through the RPS function
• Identify and address operational gaps impacting performance or client experience

Risk & Compliance

REQUIREMENTS:
