This is an opportunity to use your technical knowledge and understanding of the SJP environment to help shape how a high-growth practice develops its people, maintains quality, and scales effectively. Rather than spending your time producing suitability reports day in, day out, you'll work closely with leadership to improve technical standards, support staff development, enhance processes, and build long-term internal capability across the business. You'll be joining a highly successful SJP practice with a consistent track record of growth, having doubled funds under management approximately every 4-5 years since 2010. The next phase of growth is already underway, and this hire will play a key role in supporting that journey operationally and culturally. The Opportunity This role is ideal for someone who: Enjoys the technical side of financial planning Wants broader impact beyond case production Has strong SJP paraplanning experience comfortable coaching, training, and improving others Wants to help shape how a business evolves internally You'll work across technical oversight, training, development, quality assurance, and process improvement, becoming a key part of the wider leadership structure over time.
