Role Overview

A Sentinel Asset Management Advisor is a client-facing professional responsible for educating prospective clients, leading them through Sentinel’s structured financial planning process, and stewarding long-term client relationships. The role centers on conducting high-quality first discovery meetings, confidently leading second meetings where planning recommendations are presented and decisions are made, and maintaining ongoing relationships through annual reviews. Advisors spend their time in client meetings (typically 2–3 per day once fully onboarded), preparing and documenting financial plans, and maintaining precise records to meet regulatory and firm standards. Success in the role requires adherence to Sentinel’s process and language, exceptional communication and listening skills, emotional intelligence, and a calm, professional presence that builds trust and long-term confidence with clients.

Role Definition & Operating Standard

Role Purpose

A Sentinel Advisor is the primary steward of the client relationship, and the embodiment of the Sentinel standard. The role is not transactional sales. It is structured guidance, disciplined execution, and client stewardship delivered with empathy, confidence, and precision. We worry about tomorrow, so our clients may enjoy today.

The advisor’s mandate is simple and rigorous:

• Educate with clarity and conviction
• Lead through process, with evidence and expertise
• Prompt action decisively when appropriate
• Maintain trust through informed stewardship

This role exists to build enduring client relationships, not short-term returns.
