Our Story
Founded in 2008, Hightower is a wealth management firm that provides investment, financial and retirement planning services to individuals, foundations and family offices, as well as 401(k) consulting and cash management services to corporations. Hightower’s capital solutions, operational support services, size and scale empower its vibrant community of independent-minded wealth advisors to grow their businesses and help their clients achieve their financial vision. Based in Chicago with advisors across the U.S., we operate as a registered investment advisor (RIA).
Your Future Team
The Business and Data Operations Associate will support the daily activities of the Business and Data Operations team within Hightower's Service and Integrations organization. Reporting to the Manager, Business and Data Operations, you will help maintain the accuracy and integrity of client, account, and transaction data across Hightower’s technology systems. This requires developing and maintaining a sound understanding of cross-system operational workflows so you can assess an account's full state and remediate issues accurately. You will investigate and resolve data discrepancies, collaborate with corporate teams, and support advisor teams by responding to questions and providing timely follow-up through resolution. You will be a proactive self-starter with a strong service mindset who takes ownership, anticipates next steps, and provides advisor teams with a responsive, positive experience. Natural curiosity and an eagerness to learn across the organization are essential.
What You’ll Do
You are a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident or possess other unrestricted U.S. work authorization and will not require sponsorship for U.S. work authorization now or anytime in the future.

What You’ll Do
- Support Data Remediation: Maintain a deep understanding of Hightower’s processes and technology systems. Process and track all data remediation needs, including data analysis, triage to other internal departments, and corresponding field outreach required for remediation.
- Process Improvement: Collaborate with the Manager to identify trends and business processes that present opportunities to establish standardized business rules within the data governance process. Identify automation opportunities and reduce manual review/action. Offer feedback and suggestions to the Manager regarding pain points, areas for improvement, and other recommendations to improve and automate data remediation processes. Perform root-cause analysis to identify underlying issues and recommend enhancements to systems and processes that prevent recurrence.
- Data Discrepancy Investigation: Help identify and investigate data inconsistencies across different systems. Develop an understanding of how related data and business processes flow across systems and assess downstream impacts when issues occur. Collaborate with field teams and corporate teams to gather information and clarify discrepancies.
- Field Outreach: Coordinate with our advisor teams to address data issues, gather missing information, and ensure that data entry processes are followed at the source.
- Stakeholder Inquiries: Manage inquiries from both internal and external stakeholders to ensure a positive client experience and accurate data remediation.
- Data Updates and Correction: Perform data entry, updates, and corrections across multiple systems, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
- Documentation and Reporting: Maintain records of data discrepancies, remediation actions, and updates made in systems. Help create reports to monitor improvements in data quality. Monitor and report ongoing activities to the Manager to ensure all recurring processes are addressed and within predefined Service level agreements.
- Ad Hoc Support: Contribute to data quality initiatives, system and process changes, integrations, and other cross-functional projects as business needs evolve. Provide data cleanup, research, advisor outreach, testing, and operational support as needed.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business Administration, Information Technology, or a related field.
- 1-3 years’ experience in Operations or similar role in the Financial Services field.
- Experience working with multiple technology platforms and systems, preferably Custodians and/or Financial Performance Reporting systems. Demonstrated interest in understanding how data and business processes interconnect across systems.
- Experience with the operational details of RIA business functions (IT, Finance, Operations, Compliance) preferred.
- Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills, with a focus on accuracy, thoroughness, and identifying root causes.
- Ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously in a fast-paced environment and prioritize tasks accordingly. Proactive and self-directed, with the ability to anticipate next steps and move work forward without waiting for detailed direction. Naturally curious and eager to learn across functions rather than remaining focused only on assigned tasks.
- Coverage on the first day of employment for medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid parental leave (16 weeks for primary caregiver and 8 weeks for secondary caregiver)
- Mother’s lounge onsite
- Flexible PTO plan
- In-office Monday through Thursday and work from home on Fridays

Tips for Your Remote Data Operations Associate Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote data operations associate openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through location-filtered listings.
Show async communication skills concretely
Remote data operations teams run on written handoffs, Slack threads, and documented processes. Mention specific tools you've used for async collaboration, like Jira, Confluence, or Notion, and give an example of a workflow you documented or improved without in-person guidance.
Build a portfolio of data quality work
Remote hiring managers can't watch you work, so give them something to evaluate. A GitHub repo, shared spreadsheet, or brief case study showing how you cleaned a dataset, caught errors, or built a validation rule makes your accuracy visible before the interview.
Target remote-first companies over hybrid ones
Companies built as remote-first have established data operations workflows, documented processes, and onboarding designed for distributed teams. You'll ramp up faster and have more support than at a company that added remote roles as an afterthought.
Remote Data Operations Associate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote data operations associate job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed teams that run data workflows across time zones, since those employers are most likely to hire data operations associates fully remotely. Demonstrate self-direction and clear written communication up front, because remote managers can't check in daily. Proficiency in tools like SQL, spreadsheet automation, and ticketing or workflow platforms gives your application a concrete edge.
Which companies hire remote data operations associates?
Employers currently hiring remote data operations associates include Upgrade, CMT Services, and Hightower Advisors, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology firms, distributed financial services companies, and healthcare data platforms make up the bulk of this hiring, since their operations teams are built to function without a central office.
Can you get a remote data operations associate job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level openings are harder to land because you're expected to work independently from day one without on-site guidance. Remote-first SaaS companies and data services firms occasionally hire entry-level associates. A portfolio showing data cleaning projects, process documentation, or volunteer data work, combined with demonstrated async communication skills, can substitute for formal experience.
Do you need a degree for remote data operations associate jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers care more about demonstrated data skills and reliable output than a specific credential. Proficiency in tools like SQL, Excel, or data pipeline software, combined with examples of accurate, high-volume data work, often carries more weight than a degree when a team is evaluating a fully remote candidate they can't assess in person.
