Job Description

We are seeking an Escrow Specialist to support Wealth Operations within Domestic Trust Operations.

The ideal candidate is highly accurate, proactive, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where multi-million-dollar movements require urgency, precision, and strong internal coordination.

· Manage clearing accounts/DDAs related to cash movement; track and resolve exceptions.
· Partner with internal stakeholders (front office/wealth teams, operations partners, treasury/payment services) to ensure timely processing.
· Maintain strong audit/control hygiene: documentation, approvals, and proper handling of sensitive client instructions.
Identify recurring issues and recommend process improvements to reduce rework/errors.
