• Design solutions around advisor adoption, client outcomes, and commercial viability.
• Identify opportunities to embed SEI capabilities into the advisor experience, reducing friction, simplifying decision-making, and increasing utilization.
• Develop commercialization strategies that extend SEI capabilities across multiple distribution channels and strategic relationships.

Advance Tax-Aware and Customized Investing

• Help define SEI’s strategy for tax-aware and customized investment solutions as an increasingly important component of wealth management.
• Connect tax intelligence, custom models, separately managed accounts, direct indexing, asset location, tax harvesting, portfolio construction, and retirement income into a broader household wealth solution.
• Develop scalable approaches to customized models and tax-aware portfolios that serve advisors, enterprise clients, and end investors.
• Identify opportunities to combine SEI’s investment capabilities, technology, data, and household-level intelligence to create differentiated solutions.
• Establish target markets, distribution approaches, commercial models, and economics required to scale these capabilities.

Drive Adoption and Client Outcomes

• Make adoption a core component of solution design and commercialization.
• Ensure new capabilities are intuitive, integrated into advisor workflows, and easy to explain and use with clients.
• Develop approaches to demonstrate measurable client value through dollars, basis points, adoption measures, and other client-relevant outcomes.
• Create recurring proof-of-value mechanisms that help advisors and enterprise clients demonstrate the impact of SEI solutions over time.
• Use adoption data, client feedback, and commercial results to inform product enhancements, cross-sell opportunities, and deeper client relationships.

What We Need From You:

• Significant leadership experience in wealth management, asset management, investment solutions, enterprise strategy, product commercialization, or a related financial-services discipline.
• Demonstrated success identifying growth opportunities and translating them into commercial strategies, scalable solutions, and measurable business results.

• Executive presence and the ability to build alignment and influence decisions across organizational boundaries.
• Strong external relationships and the ability to represent SEI credibly with senior clients and strategic partners.
