Our Plymouth, MN office is looking for an Operations Manager to manage the end-to-end acquisition integrations and strategic initiatives for the Operations Department and provide superior service to newly acquired firms. This role requires a high degree of independent judgment and discretion; detailed knowledge of Wealth Enhancement Group's organization, policies, and personnel; and an understanding of department operations, procedures, and regulations to determine priorities independent of immediate supervision. The Operations Manager must demonstrate integrity and versatility due to the nature and frequency of exposure to confidential information and contact with high-level internal and external stakeholders.

This is a hybrid role with the expectation to work from our office in Plymouth, MN two days per week. The flexibility to work remotely more often may become available once fully trained.

The salary target for this role is $100,000 - $110,000 depending on experience.

We select our initial compensation target using national compensation survey data. When we make an offer, we then factor in things like tenure, performance, and geographic location to come up with the most accurate numbers. We encourage you to apply and provide us with your compensation expectations when you do. We're big on open conversations, so, let's have one.
