• Design holistic solutions that integrate seamlessly into our Wealth Management product ecosystem

• You have a high tolerance for complex projects with high levels of ambiguity and you are resilient in the face of obstacles
• You have a relentless desire to validate assumptions and uncover a problems' root cause by testing, learning and iterating
