Job Description
As a Senior Wealth Advisor on the Mariner Ultra team, you will lead relationships with ultra-high-net-worth families, delivering highly customized, integrated advice across complex financial situations.
You will work within a team-based model, partnering with internal specialists to develop and deliver thoughtful recommendations that reflect the full scope of each client’s financial life.
This role is focused on advice quality, depth, and complexity—not sales production or high client volume. This role is built for advisors who want to go deep, not wide.
Responsibilities

Run client conversations that go beyond portfolios—estate structures, tax strategy, and family dynamics are core to the work
Navigate complex planning scenarios, including:
Liquidity events
Concentrated positions
Trust design
Business succession
Coordinate across internal specialists (estate, tax, investments, and family office services) to deliver integrated recommendations
Own the quality and clarity of advice delivered to clients
Mentor support advisors by showing them how to think through complexity, not just execute tasks
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree required
10+ years’ experience working in a financial planning, accounting, legal or other organization that provides relevant experience
Series 65, CFP or CFA required
Skills And Knowledge
Experience working directly with $25M+ client households, ideally higher
Deep expertise in comprehensive planning across investments, tax, and estate strategy
Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, high-stakes situations
Strong communication skills; able to translate complex strategies into clear client guidance
High attention to detail with strong critical thinking skills
Collaborative mindset; comfortable working with and relying on specialized teams
Demonstrated ability to build trust with ultra-high-net-worth clients
Note: All Senior Wealth Advisors must have a clean U4 with no disclosures.
