About the job Senior Client Service Officer
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior Client Service Officer / Associate to join our Australian advice business.
Working closely with our advisers, paraplanners and operations team, you will own the day-to-day client experience for a growing client base, many of whom have cross-border financial needs.
This is not a call-centre role.
You will be a senior point of contact for clients, keep advice and service workflows moving, support and guide junior client services staff, and help improve how we deliver service as the business grows.
Why This Role Is Different
At Hoxton, we actively invest in up-to-date advice technology and tools to remove unnecessary admin and red tape.
Our aim is to be as efficient as possible, so our people spend their time on high-value client work and our clients get the best possible experience.
You'll have a real voice in how these tools are adopted and improved.

Maintain accurate file notes and documentation
Work closely with our compliance and Quality Assurance team members and act on review feedback quickly and thoroughly

Technology, Process & Improvement
Use our advice technology and tools to work smarter, and help identify new ways to improve efficiency
Help improve client service templates, checklists and workflows
Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies and recurring issues, and help improve our service process as the business grows
Skills & Experience
3+ years' client services experience in Australian financial advice firms
Sound understanding of advice documents and advice workflows
Experience using financial planning software, research tools and modelling tools

High attention to detail and strong organisational skills
Ability to manage multiple priorities and follow structured processes

Personal Attributes
Client-focused, with a calm and professional approach
Enthusiastic about new technology and better ways of working
Takes ownership and follows tasks through to completion
Calm and organised under deadline pressure
Willing to question processes and suggest improvements
Collaborative, and comfortable working with advisers, paraplanners, operations and compliance across time zones
This role offers exposure to every part of a fast-growing Australian advice business, with cross-border client experience and hands‐on use of advice technology you won't get in a typical practice.
For the right candidate, there is scope to progress into client service management, operations, paraplanning, compliance or a fully licensed Australian financial adviser role over time.
Remuneration
Competitive salary based on experience
