Wealth Management Associate

Garry Executive Search has been retained by a well-established, independent financial services firm in the Twin Cities to recruit a Wealth Management Associate to support a growing advisory practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in wealth management client service who is independent minded, thrives in a low-hierarchy, high-autonomy environment, and wants to build a long-term career supporting a high-performing advisory team.

This role works directly under the firm's Director of Client Services, supporting a practice that is heavy in retirement planning and serves a client base with a strong concentration of medical professionals. The WMA is a critical operational partner to a big-picture, relationship-focused advisor, owning the day-to-day account and client service work that keeps the practice running smoothly. This is a permanent, non-corporate environment built on autonomy and trust, not a stepping stone role.

What You'll Be Doing

• Support day-to-day account opening and servicing for insurance, annuities, investments, and 401(k) products
• Process account trades and other transactions as directed by the advisor (with proper licensure)
• Prepare information for client meetings and manage follow-up tasks afterward
• Maintain and manage the client relationship database
• Identify and implement process improvements
• Coordinate with broker/dealer and other service providers to resolve issues and ensure efficient workflow
• Maintain files in accordance with compliance and record retention policies
• Provide superior, high-accountability client service across a high volume of client relationships

Background They're Looking For

• Active Series 7 and 66 (or Series 65) securities licenses preferred
• Previous securities or financial services experience
• Comfortable working independently with minimal oversight in a non-corporate, low-hierarchy environment
• High accountability, self-sufficient, able to take ownership and run with it
• Organized, accurate, and detail oriented
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Proficient in Microsoft Office
• Ethical, able to maintain confidentiality
• Wants to grow long term with the firm, values longevity over a transactional role

Compensation & Benefits

• $75,000 - $100,000
• Profit sharing and 401(k), typically between 5-6%
• 15 days of PTO for first full year of employment
• 11 paid holidays
• Health insurance, employer pays 75% of premiums for employee
• Dental insurance
• Employer paid long-term and short-term disability
• Employer paid life insurance

Why This Role Stands Out

• Tons of autonomy, no micromanagement
• High-performing, low-drama team with an established growth plan in place
• Big-picture, relationship-focused advisor who relies on and values strong operational support
• Flexible scheduling, work gets done without a rigid corporate structure
• Long-term runway for someone who wants to grow with the practice
