The Role As Addepar continues to scale globally and evolve its platform, the complexity of delivering consistent, high-quality client outcomes continues to grow. We are hiring a Head of Client Strategy & Operations to help ensure that client strategy translates into execution across teams, systems, and operating rhythms — particularly as new capabilities, automation, and platform intelligence become more embedded in how work gets done. This role sits at the intersection of client leadership, product, technology, and delivery. You will not own the global services organization or manage large execution teams directly. Instead, you will act as a senior partner to Client Leadership, helping shape how the client organization operates as Addepar grows. This leader will be responsible for defining and scaling the processes, systems, and teams that ensure exceptional service delivery, maximize client lifetime value, and drive efficiency in our partner programs. Success in this role is measured by clarity, alignment, and forward momentum — not by owning every decision or process. Addepar takes a market-based approach to pay. A successful candidate’s starting pay will be determined based on the role, job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target base salary for roles in Colorado, California, and New York. The current range for this role is $171,000 - $268,000 (base salary) + bonus + equity + benefits. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process. Additionally, these ranges reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits.
