Full description
Job Overview:
Practice Management is where the firms operating rhythm meets the advisor experience: onboarding advisors and practices, managing compensation, registrations, fees, and the workflows operations teams run every day. We are hiring an AVP of Engineering to lead a talented team modernizing this portfolio—raising quality, increasing velocity safely, and shipping capabilities that advisors and internal partners feel immediately.
If you want a high-trust leadership seat with real technical depth—cloud-native delivery, strong engineering discipline, and practical AI (not hype)—this is a standout opportunity at LPL.
Responsibilities:
- Leadership: Build, coach, and develop engineers; set a culture of ownership, craftsmanship, and customer empathy. Hire and grow leaders.
- Modernization: Drive a pragmatic roadmap to improve architecture, reduce risk, retire debt, and migrate toward durable cloud patterns—without “big bang” disruption to the business.
- Quality at scale: Establish engineering standards for reliability, security, observability, testing, and operational readiness in business-critical systems.
- Cross-functional partnership: Work tightly with Product, Architecture, Platform, Security, Operations, and business stakeholders to prioritize outcomes, manage tradeoffs, and communicate clearly upward and outward.
- AI, two ways: For customers and operations: identify high-value workflows (onboarding, exceptions, validations, investigations, decision support) where intelligent automation improves speed, accuracy, and auditability—within LPL governance. For engineering: accelerate delivery responsibly (design assistance, code/test/docs workflows) with standards that protect quality, security, and compliance.
- What you will bring (hands-on to lead credibly) You are expected to be technically credible with complex enterprise systems—even as your primary job is leading the team. You should be comfortable diving into architecture reviews, critical incidents, and the hardest design decisions.
