Job Description Summary:

Cohort Program Start Date: July 13, 2027

Focus Partners is seeking high-potential graduating students to join the Summer 2027 cohort program as Advisory Team Associates (ATAs). This structured, cohort-based development program is designed to build the next generation of Associate Wealth Advisors through dedicated financial-planning curriculum, applied learning, advisor-team experience, coaching, licensing support, and progressive readiness assessments.

ATAs will begin the program together while working within a local wealth management team and partnering closely with Wealth Advisors, Associate Wealth Advisors, and other colleagues. Program length and curriculum sequencing may vary based on academic preparation and demonstrated readiness, but all ATAs will work toward the same defined graduation standards. ATAs who successfully complete the required training, licensing, assessments, and readiness expectations will be eligible to transition into an Associate Wealth Advisor (AWA) role and continue through the established career path, subject to role availability and business needs.

ATAs are expected to work on-site three to five days per week, based on office and team expectations. Some travel may be required. ATAs will be placed in designated offices with ongoing Associate Wealth Advisor needs and may be considered for placement in another office after program completion based on business needs and individual preferences.

As an ATA, you will build technical knowledge, client-service capabilities, and professional judgment through a shared cohort experience, dedicated curriculum, applied work with an advisory team, coaching, and milestone-based assessments.

Job Description:

  • Maintain accurate client records and assigned responsibilities within the CRM while following regulatory, compliance, privacy, billing, and documentation standards.
  • Build proficiency in the firm’s technology platforms and complete required licensing, training, assessments, and professional development activities.

Qualifications

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.
