The posting

About the Role

StartEngine is launching a full robo-advisory offering, converting our existing base of ~3,000 Private-fund clients onto a discretionary, algorithmically-managed platform built around a 50/30/20 portfolio philosophy. We're hiring one person to build it: a working investment leader who has personally designed and run model portfolios before, not someone who has only managed a team that did.

This is a builder's role, not a figurehead role. You'll write the investment philosophy, select the actual funds and ETFs, define the allocation and rebalancing logic, and work directly with our engineering team to get it built and shipped. You will also be the named, public face of the strategy — in our regulatory filings, in client-facing materials, and in the pitch that convinces our existing clients to convert to advisory accounts.

What You'll Do

  • Design and own the Investment Policy Statement and the 50/30/20 model portfolio framework across risk bands
  • Select and maintain the actual fund/ETF lineup using clear, defensible due-diligence criteria (cost, liquidity, tax efficiency, tracking accuracy)
  • Define the rebalancing and tax-loss-harvesting logic and work hands-on with our existing 14-person engineering team to translate it into working product — you write the spec, no separate team required
  • Serve as the named investment lead in our Form ADV and in client-facing and marketing materials
  • Partner with our General Counsel and existing compliance team to help them understand what's different about running an RIA versus our existing broker-dealer and funding-portal businesses
  • Set the compliant talking points our licensed representatives will use when discussing advisory accounts with clients
  • Report directly to [CEO / President] with full ownership of the investment function

What We're Looking For

  • You have personally built and run model portfolios at a small-to-midsize RIA or robo-advisor — hands-on, not delegated
  • CFA charter or equivalent demonstrated track record; we care more about what you've shipped than the letters after your name
  • Working knowledge of modern portfolio theory, asset allocation methodology, and passive fund/ETF selection
  • Comfortable being publicly named as the face of an investment strategy, including in regulatory disclosures
  • Able to write product requirements an engineering team can build from directly, without a translator
  • Startup mindset: you're building this function from scratch, not inheriting a department

What We're Not Looking For

  • A CIO who expects to hire a team before proving out the first version of the product
  • Someone whose experience is purely institutional or oversight-level, without hands-on portfolio-building work
  • A pure compliance or legal background — we have that covered; we need investment judgment

Perks & Benefits

  • 100% covered Medical/Dental/Vision - pick your own plan
  • Generous Equity package
  • Unlimited PTO and sick days
  • Paid WeWork Usage (optional)
  • 100% Remote
  • Team Off-sites and Celebration Dinners
  • Paid Maternity/Paternity leave
  • 401K program
  • Flexible hours
  • Be part of one of the fastest growing parts of the FinTech Industry
  • A chance to work with a highly profitable and rapidly expanding startup (not VC funded)

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.
