Position Overview


Bernstein Private Wealth Management is a premier investment management firm advising high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients. As an industry leader, we put people first and pride ourselves on selecting and developing high caliber talent.

Bernstein Private Wealth Associates are client service professionals who exhibit drive, ambition, and exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, and who, in collaboration with Financial Advisors, help propel the growth of our Private Wealth Management Platform. This is an exciting and challenging opportunity to partner with Advisors to provide asset allocation recommendations, capital markets positioning, portfolio analytics, and wealth and legacy planning for high-net-worth individuals and families.



An Associate will:

  • Collaborate and network with senior professionals throughout the firm to fuel career success
  • Partner with Financial Advisors to build their business and provide service and support functions such as portfolio analysis, account creation and maintenance, and client/prospect meeting preparation
  • Build relationships with clients and prospective clients to understand and support all aspects of their servicing needs
  • Strive to provide a world-class level of customer service and support


Our Comprehensive Development Program

Associates will participate in a robust and comprehensive training program – The Associate Development Program (ADP). After years of heavy financial investment and input from industry leaders, ADP is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. The Program is designed to build a foundation of investment knowledge and develop the quantitative and qualitative skills needed to achieve long-term stability and success, regardless of your incoming background.

Components of the Associate Development Project (ADP) Include:

  • In-depth industry training on proprietary investments, services, policies and procedures
  • Advanced training on trusts & estates, wealth planning, investment management philosophies, and financial management strategies
  • A focus on client service excellence, partnership and sales training in order to provide an exceptional client experience
  • Behavioral training geared toward the development of communication, leadership, and other professional skills
  • Career management, one-on-one coaching, and specialized skills training to achieve success beyond the Associate role

Associates have a myriad of opportunities to continue their career with us as a client service professional or in areas including Leadership, Wealth Strategies, Investment Strategies, and building their own business as an Advisor. We take all of our Associates' development seriously, and we focus on understanding each individual's strengths and aspirations, personalizing a roadmap with the success of each team member in mind. As Associates progress in the role, and as milestones are achieved and core competencies are exhibited (typically over the course of ~3 years), we celebrate the opportunity to advance team members on to other exciting opportunities at Bernstein Private Wealth Management.

Job Qualifications

We Are Seeking:

  • People who possess strong analytical and communication skills (both written and verbal) and an ability to build relationships
  • Accomplished team players who thrive in a rigorous and challenging environment
  • Individuals who are client-focused and detail-oriented with a strong ability to multi-task and work under pressure in a fast-paced atmosphere
