The Ideal Candidate:

You like learning about finance and sharing what you have learned with friends, colleagues, and prospects. You have zero fear when it comes to picking up the phone.  Yes, email is easier, but you know that sometimes the call gets it done. You like to find facts, research prospects and clients, and take good notes. You are equally comfortable in-person, on the phone, over Zoom, or exchanging emails. You ask questions. You get answers. You are the client’s first point of contact and under the direction of the Director of Sales, you make opportunities happen.

To be successful in this role, you should foremost be entrepreneurial and self-driven.  The ideal candidate must be passionate about financial markets, effectively work independently while continuously identifying opportunities to increase team efficiency and manage multiple priorities in a deadline driven environment.

• An understanding of traditional investment strategies, as well as various investment vehicles including mutual funds, separate accounts, collective investment trusts.

• Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills

• Strong technology skills including proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook as well as CRM Systems such as Salesforce.com and other related programs

• Critical thinking capabilities, strong initiative, and the aptitude to continue to learn and understand the financial services industry

• High level of personal integrity and the ability to work independently in a boutique firm with minimal supervision. 

• The love for frequent travel across the United States

• Someone that prefers being in the office with the opportunity to learn from peer mentors and grow their career
