About Iron Birch Advisors

Iron Birch Advisors is a private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC. We serve individuals, families, and business owners through comprehensive financial planning and a highly personalized client experience.

Our New York City practice is growing, and we are seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to serve as a trusted partner to our CEO. This person will bring structure, organization, momentum, and consistent follow-through to the CEO’s professional priorities while also providing reasonable personal support.

This is an opportunity for an experienced executive assistant who enjoys working in a high-trust environment, takes pride in anticipating needs, and understands how to make a busy executive more effective.
