Their goal is to model and support the necessary administrative resources to enable the FC to meet their sales targets and equip advisors to be self sufficient in the use of technology to make sales, service their blocks of business, and operate their business efficiently.

Decision-making:

As a team lead the FCRTL is required to model the desired behaviours within the FC that ensure a solid competitive sales business atmosphere. While the FCRTL uses prepared advisor training material, this is often adapted to the needs of advisors in their centre. The FCRTL, in consultation with the FCM, recommends the training schedule and training topics and decides on the location and format of the training they deliver. Because their accountabilities are varied they need to decide on which problem or situation to act on first. Their decisions impact advisors, which may impact sales and retention of advisors; and may impact staff morale in the FC if not paying sufficient attention to staff technology learning needs.

Unique requirements:

The number of advisors attached to a Financial Centre determines the variety of work the FCRTL is involved in. In small Financial Centres, the FCRTL needs to back up the administrative accountabilities described in the FC Administrator role description.
The location of non-occupant advisors determines the extent of the FCRTL's travel. Travel is expected to regional/national training sessions or meetings. The FCRTL will have Financial Centre Technology Trainers and Financial Centre Administrators reporting to them which adds to the required skills, diversity and complexity of their role. FCRTLs assume responsibilities to oversee day to day premises issues. The position requires strong technical as well as strong people skills. The variety of accountabilities, the scope of knowledge required, as well as the diversity and number of individuals with whom the FCRTL is in regular contact with reinforces how their role can be key to the success of the FC.

We thank all applicants for showing an interest in this position. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
