I run operations reports for our advice pod to ensure all outstanding client tasks are on track for completion. I liaise with the admin and operation teams to make sure everything is running smoothly and if they need any additional information from the advisers or clients.

We have our weekly Adviser Pod operations meeting where I run through where outstanding tasks are up to and any upcoming tasks for the week. We go through our client pipeline to make sure it is up to date and we ensure compliance controls are all on track.
