  • Coordinate the ongoing development of, and updates to, our "Branch Travel Deck" to ensure our Operations Leadership Team are reinforcing key, critical messaging during branch visits.
  • Work with BairdWeb Subject Matter Experts to ensure their content remains applicable, accurate and consumable for their intended audience.
  • Identify and recommend communication strategies to reinforce our Operations Partnership Commitments (OPCs), celebrate/recognize OPC wins, inform manager best practices and Ops associate development.
  • Partner with PWM Communications and Productivity & Development Teams to ensure related branch resources and training guides are consistent, relevant, accurate and meaningful.
  • Serve as owner and coordinator of various Operations-wide references including Ops - Contacts, Teams and Resource page; Quick Links Contacts database and Operations Sharepoint site.
  • Partner with Director of Branch Experience to regularly review measurement data to uncover opportunities for increased partnership.
  • Work with Operations leaders and Concourse teams to help coordinate the consistent onboarding and training of new Operations associates by ensuring the relevance and use of our OPC, Client Service Training and other critical onboarding materials.

  • Build strong and lasting relationships across Baird Operations, Private Wealth Management and other business units by providing high-value client service while working from our headquarters in Milwaukee, WI.
  • Excellent opportunity to help support a critical function within a well-respected and established wealth management business
