• Coordinate with custodians to facilitate account openings, resolve not-in-good-order items, and escalate issues as needed.
• Provide proactive onboarding status updates to advisors and internal teams, highlighting next steps, risks, dependencies, and expected timing.
• Enter, maintain, and update client, account, and onboarding data in Salesforce and other relevant systems with a high degree of accuracy.
• Support Private Placement Document preparation and alternative investment subscription workflows, including tracking funding and subscription status.
• Anticipate client and advisor needs throughout onboarding, helping remove friction points and drive a thoughtful, consistent client experience.
• Partner with operations, advisory, compliance, and investment teams to resolve issues, streamline workflows, and improve the onboarding experience.
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives, documentation of best practices, and ongoing enhancements to onboarding standards.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment with competing priorities and evolving timelines.
• Experience with Salesforce, custodial platforms, or account-opening workflows is a plus.
