About the Role
Ready to help shape the future of wealth management?
At Cooper Parry Wealth, we don't do things because "that's how they've always been done". We challenge the status quo, rethink the traditional wealth model, and build better experiences for our clients and our people.
We're looking for a Financial Planning Systems & Operations Manager to play a pivotal role in how our business runs and evolves. This is an opportunity to sit at the centre of operations, technology, data and transformation, driving improvements that genuinely make a difference.
Whether your background is in financial planning operations, paraplanning, administration, systems management, or process improvement, this role offers the chance to take ownership, influence change, and help shape what's next.
Working closely with our Transformation Director, you'll support the day-to-day running of our operations while helping deliver strategic projects that improve efficiency, enhance the client experience, and future-proof our business.
You'll:
- Keep our systems, processes and operational support running smoothly and effectively
- Be the go-to person for operational challenges, process improvements, and finding smarter ways of working
- Support the delivery of business-wide transformation and change initiatives
- Take ownership of our CRM and client portal, ensuring data quality, user adoption and continuous improvement
- Turn operational data into meaningful insights through reporting and KPI tracking
- Champion innovation, automation and technology adoption across the business
- Develop and improve processes, documentation and operational best practice
This is a role for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving how things work, and making a visible impact every day.
As we're continuing to grow our Wealth presence across the UK, we're ideally looking for someone who is happy to travel occasionally to support teams, projects and growth initiatives in different locations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
You're someone who sees opportunity where others see process.
You enjoy understanding how things work, spotting ways to make them better, and bringing people with you on the journey. You're naturally curious, commercially minded, and comfortable balancing detail with the bigger picture.
We're particularly interested in people who:
- Have experience in financial planning operations, paraplanning, administration, or a similar operational role within wealth management
- Understand financial planning systems and technology, and enjoy challenging existing ways of working to drive improvement
- Feel comfortable leading or supporting change and helping teams adopt new processes, systems and ways of working
- Are confident working with data and using insights to support decisions and improve performance
- Bring strong Excel skills and a practical, problem-solving mindset
- Take ownership, follow through on commitments, and act with accountability
- Build strong relationships and communicate effectively with people at all levels
- Enjoy collaborating, influencing and working cross-functionally
- Are motivated by continuous improvement and delivering meaningful outcomes for clients and colleagues alike
Most importantly, you'll be someone who wants to make things better, embraces change, and gets excited about helping shape the future of a fast-growing business.
