Transition & Onboarding Manager - Financial Planning

Career

You prefer creating momentum over maintaining the status quo.

You might currently be a Transition Manager, Integration Lead, Change Manager, Project Manager or senior operations professional, but you're looking for more influence, more visibility and a bigger seat at the table.

You love navigating change, building relationships and solving complex people and business challenges. If you're happiest managing the same process year after year, this probably isn't the role for you.

You want exposure to acquisitions, integration and business transformation. You want to work closely with senior leaders, shape decision-making and gain experience that positions you for future leadership opportunities across operations, change or business management.

You'll help Financial Planners and acquired firms transition successfully, while building a skillset that will accelerate your career beyond traditional project delivery.

You'll act as a key delivery lead across multiple transition programmes, coordinating activity across Financial Planning, Operations, Hubs and wider stakeholders. Acting as deputy, you'll help ensure integrations are delivered efficiently, risks are managed effectively and Financial Planners are set up for long-term success.
