+ Own the team's portfolio of compensation modeling, partner affiliation analysis, forecasting, and practice-valuation work, ensuring outputs are accurate, well-controlled, scalable, and decision-ready.

+ Establish standards and review processes for advisor-facing modeling tools, projections, analyses, presentations, and educational resources.

+ Translate firm strategy into team priorities, business requirements, analytical frameworks, and executable work plans.

+ Serve as a senior partnership subject matter expert, advising financial advisors and firm stakeholders on the economic implications of partnership and affiliation alternatives.

+ Communicate financial analysis and other strategic information (including economic trade-offs) to financial advisors in partner models.

+ Partner with Product Teams in the design, development, testing, and implementation of new affiliation model compensation capabilities, solutions, and educational experiences.

+ Identify opportunities with broad impact and visibility, frame the business case, recommend solutions, and lead implementation through completion.

+ Champion the innovation and evolution of processes, controls, data, tools, and team operating practices to meet changing business needs and increasing organizational complexity.

+ Manage competing priorities and emerging requests while maintaining transparency on capacity, timing, risks, and expected outcomes.

+ Promote an inclusive, collaborative, and accountable team environment that supports sound judgment, continuous learning, and high-quality execution.

What you'll need:

+ Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, economics, business, data science, analytics, or a related discipline, or relevant work experience.

+ Progressive experience in financial analysis, forecasting, financial modeling, strategy, compensation, or a related field, including demonstrated experience leading people or complex work through others.

+ Advanced financial analysis and modeling skills, with the judgment to challenge assumptions, interpret results, and connect analysis to business decisions.

+ Ability to lead, coach, and develop experienced professionals while establishing accountability for quality, collaboration, and outcomes.

+ Ability to prioritize a portfolio of concurrent work, make trade-offs, and adjust quickly as business needs change.

+ Ability to translate business strategy into clear requirements, analytical approaches, team priorities, and implementation plans.

+ Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, including pivot tables and advanced formulas.

+ Working knowledge of accounting processes, key tax principles, and financial statements.

+ Ability to communicate complex financial information and strategic concepts clearly to financial advisors and senior and executive leaders.

+ Demonstrated ability to influence across organizational boundaries, navigate differing perspectives, and drive decisions without relying solely on formal authority.

+ Strong written, verbal, presentation, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills.

+ Ability to work effectively in a highly collaborative environment while exercising independent judgment.

What could set you apart:

+ Experience leading teams responsible for compensation, partnership economics, affiliation models, practice valuation, or advisor-facing financial consulting.

+ A CPA license, advanced degree, or other relevant professional credential.

+ Working knowledge of agile product management and experience partnering with digital product teams.

+ Proficiency with business intelligence and data-transformation tools such as Power BI and Power Query.

+ Experience implementing governance, controls, and quality-review practices for sophisticated financial models and decision-support tools.
