Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is seeking a Regional AI Specialist to help drive AI adoption across the field — our nationwide network of Financial Advisors and field management teams. This role will focus on helping Financial Advisors, Support Professionals, Field Leadership, and Home Office partners use AI as a practical platform to deliver targeted business campaigns, strengthen client and prospect engagement, and apply new capabilities in consistent, measurable ways. This role will be aligned to a U.S. region and will require regular travel across markets and branches within the assigned region. The role will also help uncover and activate business development opportunities by connecting AI-related initiatives to advisor growth strategies, prospecting efforts, and client engagement priorities.

The role will help translate emerging AI capabilities into practical, field-ready use cases, including opportunities tied to E*TRADE, product engagement, client acquisition, and retention.

This is a hands-on, execution-oriented role that requires deep Wealth Management context, strong relationship management skills, execution discipline, and the ability to make complex topics approachable. The successful candidate will help move users from awareness to sustained behavior change by identifying adoption barriers, surfacing business development opportunities, capturing feedback, and scaling what works across markets and regions.

Enablement, Execution & Deployment

• Lead practical education sessions, workshops, office hours, 1:1 coaching, and training sessions for Financial Advisors, Support Professionals, and Field Leadership.

• Support broader initiative adoption across AI, Digital Assets, E*TRADE, product rollouts, field communications, tools e.g., Salesforce and learning/module plans, with a focus on how these capabilities can support targeted business campaigns and growth-oriented field execution.

• Help field teams apply AI and related capabilities directly to day-to-day workflows, including client outreach, prospecting, segmentation, campaign follow-up, and business development routines.

• Identify and support business development opportunities tied to AI-related initiatives, helping teams turn new capabilities into practical outreach, prospecting, and client engagement actions.

• Develop targeted adoption strategies by audience segment, including awareness, activation, reinforcement, manager coaching, peer advocacy, and sustainment tactics.

Required Qualifications

• Strong Wealth Management knowledge and ability to build trusted relationships across Financial Advisors, Support Professionals, Field Leadership, and Home Office partners.

• Ability to translate strategic priorities, emerging capabilities, and complex topics into practical field execution.

• Strong communication, facilitation, and presentation skills.

• Highly organized, with strong follow-up discipline and ability to manage multiple priorities across markets or regions.
