About Northern Trust

As a global leader in innovative wealth management, asset servicing, asset management and banking services, Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) is proud to guide the world’s most successful individuals, families, corporations and institutions.

Since 1889, we have aligned our efforts with our three guiding Principles That Endure: Service, Expertise, and Integrity. Together, they reflect the three cornerstones of business conduct which we strive to instill in our employees, whom we call partners, and to provide to our clients and the communities we serve worldwide.

With more than 135 years of financial experience and over 24,000 partners, we serve the world’s most sophisticated clients using leading technology and exceptional service.

We have a balanced hybrid working model to ensure you get the flexibility you need and the successful candidate will spend their time between working in the office and working from home.

About the role

As an Associate Wealth Advisor, Family Office Solutions, you will be responsible for supporting partners in wealth planning related work for our ultra-high net-worth individual and client family relationships served by the Family Office Solutions team.

Working with the Regional Wealth Advisors, you will be responsible for collecting, reviewing, and synthesizing personal and wealth profile data and modeling strategies and solutions. The role entails creation of subject matter decks and meeting materials, some light research, creation of detailed balance sheets and estate flow charts, reviewing and synthesizing of estate planning documents, along with collaboration with the broader wealth management teams.

You will have varying degrees of client interaction depending upon the nature of a client’s projects and needs, but you will not have client relationships of your own. Additionally, you will be responsible for providing overall support to the Regional Wealth Advisors and, when appropriate, to the Family Office Solutions team. Given the nature of the clients served, you will interface with teams and groups across the wealth management spectrum.

This position can be a career choice or a steppingstone along your career path, but it is an interactive and collaborative role supporting the Regional Wealth Advisors with a focus on knowledge, growth, and development.

This is NOT an investment focused position.
