As part of Bernstein's Investment and Wealth Strategies team, the individual will help develop customized wealth planning solutions for the firm's clients. As a client-facing wealth planning resource, candidates must have exceptional presentation skills and be able to explain complex estate, trust, and tax concepts clearly and at a level appropriate to the audience.

Key activities for this Wealth Strategies professional will include:

  • Working with the firm's Financial Advisors and high net worth clients in analyzing potential investment strategies, reflecting client tax and estate planning circumstances;
  • Communicating our latest research conclusions and capabilities to clients, prospects, and professionals, to audiences both large and small, sophisticated and lay;
  • Establishing the Bernstein brand in the high net worth channel by engendering trust and confidence among prospective and existing clients and their professional intermediaries;
  • Helping to win business in competitive situations;
