vor 4 Wochen

Zürich ZH, Schweiz AllianceBernstein Vollzeit

The European division of AB is comprised of client/distributor-focused Advisors & Associates as well as consultant-focused and marketing professionals dedicated to building and servicing our client base in Europe. Within the division, Client Relations Associates work in a team environment, comprised of Advisors, Associates, Marketing and Assistants, to support client service and prospecting efforts for the region.

The purpose of this role is to support the Client Relations Advisors in servicing clients in Switzerland as well as supporting business development efforts with clients and prospects.

An undergraduate university degree is mandatory and prior professional work experience is desirable. A strong work ethic and healthy ambition for responsibility is also essential.

Responsibilities

The Associate coordinates all client activity and provides the central point of reference for internal and external contacts associated with a client relationship. Associates are in constant communication with clients and various internal departments to ensure client expectations are fully met—they are the advocates for the client. This includes building effective and trusted relationships first and foremost with the Advisors, but also with portfolio management, operations and client reporting, legal and compliance, among others.

Associates are responsible for handling all client, consultant and prospect requests specific to the relationships to which they are assigned. This includes, but is not limited to:

- Acting as first point of contact for all client inquiries and collaborating with colleagues in other departments to successfully resolve them (including product/performance/market related queries; operational issues; legal amendments; billing queries etc.)
- Partnering with Advisors to provide support and to ensure strong client relationships built on trust and credibility
- Organizing, attending and participating in pre-meetings to prepare for external meetings and events, and coordinating the follow-ups afterwards
- Coordinating and overseeing client service and prospecting materials such as presentations for meetings, RFIs/RFPs, ad hoc reports and general correspondence
- Overseeing the new account take-on process including coordination of legal, portfolio management and operational items with the relevant internal departments
- Ensuring timely and accurate preparation and distribution of client reporting, client service and prospecting materials (presentations and correspondence)
- Maintaining client summary documents
- Maintaining client files and CRM system/databases (Salesforce)

Associates are expected to be fully trained and competent in dealing directly with clients and prospects in a knowledgeable and professional manner. They are encouraged to raise their personal profile across the firm. As appropriate, they will be asked to participate in department, regional and firmwide projects and initiatives. In areas where they exceed expectations, they will be given the opportunity to take on greater responsibility.
