Experienced Operations Associate

We're looking for an experienced operations associate to join a team that's increasingly becoming Saltus' “secret sauce”, in the words of our CEO. We are looking for someone who can come in and hit the ground running. Someone who understands financial planning products, operations and working with providers. This role drives process efficiency, develops trust in working with the PAS analysts and wider stakeholder network. This person has a focus on client outcomes and drives positive results.

Why Saltus?

Our mission is to improve everyone’s relationship with their wealth: to make it a positive force for their future and at the same time to prevent it being a source of anxiety. We want everyone who works at Saltus to be proud to work here, and to find fulfilment and meaning in the work that they do.

We are a successful LLP, with a number of offices across England including London, Whiteley, Bath and Newcastle. We are incredibly proud of our culture and work really hard to ensure that Saltus is a great place to work for our people, where they can have fun and grow in their career, with a passion for excellence and customer service.

Saltus is an independently owned financial planning and discretionary investment management house. We are dedicated to providing a high-quality service for private clients, trusts, and smaller institutions. Saltus Partners was founded in 2004 and has grown organically and through a small number of carefully integrated acquisitions. Originally the business started out as an investment manager and has now developed the financial planning side of the offering, putting this at the forefront of the client relationship.

Today Saltus manages and advises on over £12 billion of client assets, acquired through a combination of organic business growth and corporate acquisitions.

Can you tell me more about the role?

Saltus is seeking a Senior Operations Associate to work within our Programmatic Advice and Suitability Team, based in Bournemouth, with a particular focus on the administration of bulk client migrations from ceding schemes onto the Saltus Platform. You'll be joining one of the most dynamic and strategically important teams in the business, supporting the firm's focus on M&A as we take advantage of unprecedented consolidation across wealth management.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

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.

This is a senior individual contributor role: you'll own a significant portion of the implementation caseload yourself, act as a point of technical expertise and escalation for less experienced team members and help shape how the team's processes evolve - without the day-to-day people-management responsibilities that sit with the Implementations Supervisor.

You'll have a wide range of responsibilities, including:

  • Owning the implementation journey for a caseload of clients transferring to the Saltus Platform, with a focus on getting the best outcomes for clients
  • Leading update calls and meetings with advisers on your own cases, and providing effective day-to-day support more broadly
  • Implementing and ensuring continuity of client income payments and contributions, and being proactive in avoiding poor client experiences
  • Supporting the Transfers team with the management of client transfers
  • Liaising with internal stakeholders and suppliers to keep processes running smoothly
  • Monitoring inboxes and resolving queries, including more complex or escalated cases
  • Working with and helping maintain CRM systems to improve efficiency within the team
  • Acting as a first point of referral for queries from less experienced Replatforming team members, and supporting their on-the-job learning
  • Identifying process improvements and helping implement changes that lift team productivity and client satisfaction
  • Working on projects related to implementations and our platform provider, collaborating with other operations teams across Saltus
  • Deputising for the Implementations Supervisor on operational matters as required

What skills and experience do I need to have?

We think the best candidate for this role will have:

  • Minimum of 3-5 years' experience in Financial Services, ideally including exposure to platform migrations, transfers or onboarding
  • A track record of owning complex casework independently, with sound judgement on when to escalate
  • Good analytical skills, able to work with Excel to process work efficiently and produce summaries or insights for colleagues
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a team
  • Intellectual horsepower and curiosity for solving business problems
  • A ‘growth mindset' - an appetite for testing yourself and using past mistakes as a springboard to keep improving
  • Good time management, with the ability to prioritise and work to multiple deadlines, often autonomously
  • The ability to build strong professional relationships, both internally and externally
  • Some prior experience supporting or informally guiding more junior colleagues is an advantage, though this is not a line-management role
