Experience with SQL, Python, or data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) a plus but not required. - High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced environment. - Intellectual curiosity and a genuine interest in getting into the details of how a wealth management business operates and creates value for clients. - Comfort working in a collaborative, team-oriented environment with a bias toward action and continuous improvement. **Work Schedule:** This professional role requires availability during standard business hours of Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM.
