Senior Implementations Associate, Vestwell

• While we're not looking for deep expertise, prior experience in client servicing, plan administration and non-discrimination testing, plan design, and/or end-to-end conversion processing for 401(k)/403(b) plans is helpful
• If you don't have this prior experience, but you have unparalleled communication skills, a commitment to superior customer service, ability to adapt within a fast-paced business environment, and previous client management experience handling several clients and projects at once, we’d be delighted to connect with you!
• 2-4 years of experience in project management and leading team initiatives end to end; you're flexible, creative, team-oriented, results-driven, and can effectively collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders
• Professional experience using and optimizing internal technical operational tools (e.g. Jira, Zendesk, Asana, Google Workspace), and helping others develop and employ best practices -- bonus points for deployment/build experience
• Demonstrated aptitude for learning, creating, and iterating rapidly
• Willingness to learn retirement plan design and plan conversion processes from point of sales to release of conversion data

Desirable

• We are growing and looking for an experienced Senior Implementations Associate to serve as the liaison and dedicated resource to Plan Sponsors and Financial Advisors as they onboard to Vestwell's platform
• In this role, you will have the opportunity to manage projects, collaborate cross-functionally with internal stakeholders to enhance our onboarding experience, and provide subject matter expertise on plan design and training for Plan Sponsors as they onboard to our platform
• Primary internal client advocate representing plan sponsor and advisor contacts
• Managing all aspects of the onboarding process from point of sale through successful transition of new plans to our platform
• Coordinating with financial advisors, plan sponsors, prior recordkeepers, and/or third-party administrators to determine conversion timelines, key action items, and delivery dates, as well as communicating overall project status to both external and internal stakeholders
• Collaborating cross-functionally to provide support where needed and ensure the team can deliver against expected service level agreements
• This role will be based in Vestwell’s New York, or Austin office, and will be expected to report to the office in a hybrid schedule

• It starts the same for every candidate: getting to know the team members through 1-2 conversations about Vestwell, your experience, and your interests
• Next steps can vary by role, but the usual next steps are a skill or experience screen (e.g. a coding interview for an Engineer, a portfolio review for a Designer, deeper experience call for other roles) which leads to a virtual or in-person interview panel after that if the screens go well
• Before making an offer, our interview process concludes with a references check stage for your recruiter to meet with a current or former supervisor and peer. We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process
