About the role

As the Transition Manager you will own and elevate the advisor journey from initial recruitment through successful transition and integration. The role is equal parts process architect and trusted relationship manager - automating workflows, creating structure where gaps exist, and stepping in as the go-to project manager and connective tissue between our internal teams and advisors. With you in the seat, Advisors will feel supported, understood and confident in their decision to partner with Compound.

What Motivates You (How You’ll Work)

• You thrive in structured chaos— building process is as exciting to you as running it.

• You get energy from being the steady hand: the person others rely on when things feel overwhelming or complex.

• You naturally look for ways to simplify and automate, removing friction before anyone else even notices it.

• You find success through advisor success—knowing your work directly impacts their confidence in joining and thriving at Compound.

• You’re a connector: you know how to bring people, information, and systems together seamlessly.

• You find satisfaction in getting it right the first time, but you’re quick to adjust when new solutions emerge.

Key Responsibilities

• Advisor Onboarding: Own the entire advisor transition timeline, from LOI through the first 90+ days, delivering white-glove service and serving as the single point of contact for all stakeholders.

• Advisor Transitions: Lead transition efforts as advisors migrate books of business, platforms, or client relationships into the Compound ecosystem.

• Process Design & Improvement: Identify opportunities to streamline, automate, and refine onboarding and transition processes for efficiency and scalability.

• Project Management: Track and drive milestones across teams (ops, compliance, tech, people) to ensure timely and successful advisor launches.

• Advisor Relationship Management: Provide clear, empathetic communication, answering questions and resolving issues throughout onboarding and transition.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with internal stakeholders to coordinate deliverables, remove roadblocks, and deliver a seamless advisor experience.

• Quality Assurance: Anticipate advisor needs, spot gaps early, and proactively deliver solutions that reinforce trust in Compound’s model.

What We’re Looking For

• RIA Operations Expertise: Deep understanding of RIA/wealth management operations, including account transfers, custodial processes (Schwab/Fidelity), and compliance requirements is preferred.

• Advisor-Facing Experience: Comfort in speaking with advisors directly, answering questions, and guiding them through onboarding and transitions.

• Process-Driven: Skilled at building and managing workflows, identifying inefficiencies, and applying structure where needed.

• Project Management Skills: Demonstrated ability to manage multiple timelines, deliverables, and stakeholders simultaneously.

• Detail-Oriented & Empathetic: Ability to balance precision and process with a thoughtful, advisor-first mindset.
