Position Summary

The Manager, Wealth Planning Advisor sits within Global & Strategic Planning (GSP) and supports the design and execution of estate, trust, and wealth-transfer planning for the Dalio Family Office globally. The role provides technical analysis, drafting support, and coordination that turns planning strategy into well-documented, executable structures. The purpose of the role is to serve as a strong wealth planning advisor who advances planning workstreams day to day - preparing analyses, supporting trust and entity structuring, and coordinating with internal Pillars and external advisors — under the direction of Head of Global Strategy & Planning. Success in the role means planning matters move forward with technical rigor and minimal re-work, documentation cleanly reflects the intended plan, and cross-border and trust structures are analyzed and sequenced with sound, detail-oriented judgment.

Day-to-day responsibilities would include a combination of the following

Wealth Planning Support

Support the design and refinement of multi-generational estate, gift, and wealth-transfer strategies under the direction of senior GSP leadership.
Prepare technical analyses, planning memos, and structural options that frame choices and tradeoffs for review.
Track planning decisions and ensure follow-through from design to executed structure.

Trust Planning & Structuring

Support the structuring of new trusts and the modification or migration of existing trusts, including cross-border considerations.
Draft and review planning documents in coordination with external counsel, ensuring accuracy and consistency with the intended plan.
Help ensure trust planning is integrated with investment, income-tax, and philanthropic considerations.

Global & Cross-Border Planning

Support estate and structural planning for cross-border matters.
Assist with residency, citizenship, mobility, and situs analyses as they affect estate, trust, and transfer-tax planning.
Coordinate U.S. and non-U.S. legal and tax inputs into clear, decision-ready materials.

Cross-Pillar Coordination & Execution

Coordinate day to day with Tax, Legal, Finance, and external advisors to advance planning initiatives.
Maintain initiative documentation: objectives, scope, dependencies, decision points, and status.
Help ensure initiatives produce the intended outcome without turning GSP into a routine execution team.

Technical Rigor & Risk Awareness

Apply a careful legal, tax, and regulatory lens to estate and trust structures across jurisdictions.
Flag novel or higher-risk issues for senior review and support “case of first impression” analysis.
Monitor legislative and regulatory developments relevant to estate, gift, and transfer-tax planning.

Stakeholder & Advisor Interface

Participate in working sessions with external advisors and internal leaders, ensuring alignment and clean follow-through.
Provide continuity and institutional context across multi-year matters.
Additional duties as assigned.

The ideal candidate will possess the following knowledge, skills, attributes, and values

Strong drafting, analytical, and organizational skills with high attention to detail and discretion.
Ability to manage multiple workstreams and coordinate effectively across internal teams and external advisors.
