Job Summary: |
|
Mercer Advisors is looking for a rare operator — someone who can think strategically, move fast, and get a lot done. As VP of Sales Enablement and Operations, you'll sit at the center of one of the most ambitious client development builds in the wealth management industry, responsible for three of the most critical levers in our growth engine. This is a purpose-built role designed for where we are going — not a backfill — created to bring structure, visibility, and momentum to a Growth organization that spans Client Development and Marketing. This is not a role for someone who manages from a distance. You'll roll up your sleeves every single day — building roadmaps, coordinating conversion programs, running operating rhythms, and leading a high-performing central Revenue Operations and Enablement team. You bring clarity to complexity, urgency to problems, and follow-through to everything you touch. You'll directly lead the Central Revenue Operations and Enablement team — a four-person team that spans both operational infrastructure and field enablement. Beyond your direct team, you'll orchestrate the broader network of shared services and program managers who keep the Client Development organization running. You'll also serve as a key operating partner within the broader Growth leadership team, which spans Client Development and Marketing program leads. This VP role facilitates and operationalizes decisions — you bring visibility, sequencing, and follow-through. Decision authority sits with Growth leadership. |
