About Aspen Standard Wealth

Aspen Standard Wealth, LLC (www.aspenstandardwealth.com) is a holding company that acquires and operates U.S. SEC-registered investment advisers (RIAs). We provide our firms with centralized legal, compliance, and operational services so they can focus on serving clients. Our central technology team partners closely with the leaders and operators at each affiliated RIA to deliver a best-in-class technology platform designed for scalability, growth, and the advisor experience. Since our founding less than 1 year ago, we have grown our platform to six (6) RIAs who collectively manage more than $12 billion in assets.

Position Overview

Aspen is seeking a Head of Applications & Integrations to own the implementation, configuration, and integration of enterprise software systems across our growing network of RIAs. These systems form the backbone of how we onboard new firms, empower advisors, and generate actionable insights essential to Aspen’s continued growth. The ideal candidate blends deep technical fluency with strong business judgment and exceptional stakeholder management. They are equally comfortable translating user needs into system specs, integrating across tools and platforms, and driving change that leads to adoption.

The Head of Applications & Integrations will report to the Chief Technology Officer and work closely with Aspen's Technology, Operations, and Strategy teams to collaborate with Aspen’s partner RIAs to craft a seamless, integrated, AI-native suite of applications that support our growth and operations. This role is ideal for a rising systems leader ready to take on broader ownership and drive meaningful change in a high-growth environment.
