About the Job

Aspen Standard Wealth is scaling rapidly through acquisition, and we're hiring a Director of Advisor Platform Onboarding to lead the conversion of newly acquired partner firms onto Aspen's standard technology platform. This person owns the full migration journey — moving firms from their legacy CRM, portfolio accounting, billing, trading, and client portal systems onto Aspen's Advisor Platform suite — while coordinating partner firm teams and technology vendors to deliver smooth, high-quality transitions.


This role is ideal for an operator who has driven multiple system conversions, builds trust quickly with advisor teams, and thrives in a fast-moving, acquisitive environment.

This role is fully onsite in Chicago with 10% travel required.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain repeatable migration playbooks to support scalable onboarding as Aspen continues to acquire

  • Lead data migration and validate conversion accuracy across CRM, portfolio accounting, billing, trading, and client portal systems

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for partner firm leadership and ops teams throughout the migration process

  • Maintain delivery tracking and reporting across all active onboarding workstreams

  • Collaborate with Aspen's Technology, Operations, and Deal & Integration teams to align onboarding with firm priorities

Experiences and Functional Skills Required
  • 5-10 years in financial services technology, operations, or wealth-focused SaaS

  • Direct track record of executing system conversions or platform migrations — ideally multiple, across different firms or environments

  • Strong understanding of financial services operations — ideally with exposure to wealth management workflows such as client onboarding, fee billing, or portfolio reporting

  • Comfortable getting hands-on with data to reconcile and validate accuracy during system conversions

  • Project management and stakeholder management across complex, multi-vendor workstreams

Behaviors and Mindsets Required

INTERPERSONAL SAVVY – Reads people and situations accurately and adjusts behavior to work effectively with others.
