Portfolio Reporting Manager – Orion & Addepar

Cerity Partners is looking for a Portfolio Reporting Manager to lead the systems that power performance reporting for our advisors and clients. You'll own the Addepar and Orion platforms end-to-end — guiding a team, shaping how new advisors get onboarded, and making sure every client sees accurate, timely reporting. This is a role with real ownership: your decisions on process and platform directly shape the client experience across the firm.

  • Daily updates and reconciliation.

  • Monitoring reporting and integration of alternative assets.

  • Monthly performance updates.

  • Proactively monitoring dashboards to ensure system integrity and data accuracy.

• Maintain a working understanding of the metrics, calculations, key user workflows, and operational processes involved in the end-to-end maintenance of the reporting platforms.

• Document required processes for ongoing system support, participate in requirements gathering for ongoing system updates, and help facilitate user integration and acceptance testing.
   

New Advisor Integration

Support the integration of new advisors onto the Orion and Addepar systems, including:

• Establish clients and accounts.

• Link accounts to custodians.

• Coordinate conversion of historical transactions, balances, and performance.

• Reconcile historical conversions.

• Populate custom attributes.

• In conjunction with users, create and test client packages.

• Ensure adequate internal controls and compliance with regulatory requirements.
   

Team Support & Process Improvement:

• Provide day-to-day guidance, support, and mentorship to portfolio reporting team members, serving as a resource for questions, problem-solving, and best practices.

• Help prioritize and coordinate team workflows to ensure deadlines, reporting requirements, and client needs are consistently met.

• Review work and provide constructive feedback to promote accuracy, consistency, and continuous improvement.

• Lead knowledge-sharing efforts and help develop team members' understanding of portfolio reporting processes, systems, and workflows.

• Serve as a subject matter expert and escalation point for complex reporting, data, and system-related issues.

• Partner with Management to identify team needs, address operational challenges, and recommend improvements to processes and workflows.

• Lead or participate in cross-functional projects involving Portfolio Reporting, Technology, Operations, Advisors, and other internal teams.

• Support onboarding and training of new team members, helping ensure they develop the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively support the reporting function.

• Assist with improvement projects, ad-hoc projects, and assigned research projects.

• Maintain written procedures covering all aspects of the position.

• Continuously identify potential solutions and efficiencies to improve processes and workflows.

• Serve as a resource to team members and contribute to a culture of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.
   

Required Qualifications
