  • Partner with external vendors to manage timely and accurate updates to consultant database profiles, ensuring completeness, data integrity, and optimal firm visibility.
  • Ensure all database content adheres to applicable regulations and industry standards (e.g., SEC, GIPS), particularly for performance, fees, and portfolio characteristics.
  • Analyze data and trends to refine competitive positioning and tailor messaging across client segments and distribution channels.
  • Implement procedures to regularly audit data and validate database information for accuracy and completeness.
  • Collaborate with Compliance and external partners to conduct periodic reviews and implement required updates and corrections in a timely manner.
  • Develop and maintain feedback loops with Product, CPMs, and Sales to ensure database content reflects the most relevant and up-to-date information for clients and consultants.
  • Partner with senior leaders to oversee the maintenance of the firm’s content database (Responsive), ensuring content is reviewed with SMEs and that approved updates are promptly integrated for consistent, team-wide use.
  • Maintain and optimize the firm’s content database (Responsive) by incorporating approved updates, coordinating regular SME reviews, and eliminating redundancies to ensure content is accurate, consistent, and readily accessible.
  • Partner with Operations to understand workflows across retail and institutional accounts, as well as various investment vehicles, to ensure accurate and tailored responses.
