  • Identify recurring issues and contribute to process improvements, product introductions, system enhancements, and testing.
  • Stay current on investment products, operational procedures, regulatory requirements, and industry developments.
  • Participate in advisor meetings, network-office visits, presentations, and other field or industry events as needed.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
  • At least three years of experience in investment services, investment operations, brokerage, advisory services, trading support, account maintenance, or a related field.
  • Working knowledge of brokerage and advisory products, accounts, and operational processes.
  • Experience researching and resolving complex operational issues or escalations.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Demonstrated accountability and commitment to following work through resolution.
  • Self-motivated and able to manage multiple priorities with limited direction.
  • Able to work independently while collaborating effectively with teammates and business partners.
  • Flexible and comfortable adjusting to changing workloads, processes, and business needs.
  • Eager to learn new products, systems, procedures, and investment operations concepts.
  • Depending on assigned responsibilities, a FINRA Series 6 or Series 7 license may be required.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
