ABOUT OUR CLIENT:

Our client is a full-service 401(k) recordkeeper, third-party administrator (TPA), and registered investment advisor (RIA). They partner with plan sponsors, advisors, and payroll providers to deliver accurate, compliant, and efficient retirement plan administration. They aim to deliver a white-glove service to our clients and plan participants through fast, high-quality responses and proactive communication, leveraging technology to empower their people to do their best work.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

The Relationship Manager (RM) serves as the primary point of contact for Plan Sponsors, Adopting Employers, and Investment Advisors, and functions as the quarterback of the overall client relationship. The RM is expected to operate with a consultative, advisory approach, combining technical retirement plan knowledge with proactive relationship management, and is accountable for the client's overall experience.

The RM manages an assigned book of business and is expected to operate with extreme urgency, strong ownership, and disciplined follow-through across every client interaction.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES:

• Compliance Testing & Contribution Communication: Deliver compliance testing results and contribution calculations prepared by Consultants; serve as the client's point of contact for related questions.
• Fiduciary File Delivery: Review the annual, system-generated fiduciary file (Broadridge/SRT) and prepare talking points and plan design observations prior to the client meeting. Deliver the fiduciary file in a client meeting, using the opportunity to demonstrate value and discuss plan design changes that support the sponsor's goals. Document fiduciary file meetings and resulting follow-ups in the CRM.
