As Director of Advisor Experience, you will own the advisor lifecycle after the point of sale. You are accountable for how it feels to be a Sapphire advisor, from onboarding through ongoing service and engagement. As the platform grows, this role exists to bring structure, clarity, and consistency to that experience. You will lead the onboarding and client service teams while defining the systems, standards, and feedback mechanisms that allow those functions to scale. This is a strategic and hands-on leadership role. You will design structure and accountability at a systems level while remaining close enough to the work to resolve escalations, identify friction, and ensure operational complexity never translates into advisor confusion.
