If you thrive in an environment where your growth and development are encouraged and supported, then Associated Bank may be the right place for you.

The Senior Wealth Advisor is responsible for developing, leading, and managing relationships with high net worth (HNW) and ultra high net worth clients (UHNW), typically holding $3-$40 million in investable assets, and collaborating on more complex relationships in excess of $40 million to $150+ million. This role is distinguished by deep experience advising clients in highly complex wealth scenarios, including advanced wealth transfer strategies, business succession planning, sophisticated tax aware planning in coordination with attorneys and CPAs, and executive level planning opportunities generated through the bank's Commercial Banking and Executive Advantage programs.

Acting as the primary relationship lead, the Senior Wealth Advisor serves as the strategic quarterback for the client relationship, partnering with internal specialists-including trust officers, private bankers, portfolio managers, and financial wealth planners-to deliver fully integrated, fiduciary aligned wealth solutions. Success in this role requires advanced technical expertise in wealth planning and a demonstrated ability to orchestrate multidisciplinary collaboration in complex client situations.

The Senior Wealth Advisor is accountable for driving organic growth through business development, client retention, and expansion of relationships across trust, investment management, financial planning, and banking services. This includes converting senior executive level opportunities and consistently delivering exceptional client experience while adhering to all regulatory, fiduciary, and risk management standards.
