  • High-net-worth households: asset allocation, tax-aware rebalancing, and tax-loss harvesting

  • Families with education funding, insurance needs, and estate-planning coordination

  • Business owners: retirement plan design, succession, and cash-flow planning

  • Life transitions: divorce, widowhood, inheritance, and career changes


Required Qualifications

  • Active CFP® certification and/or CFA charter.

  • 5+ years of hands-on, client-facing financial planning or wealth management experience (currently or recently).

  • Based in the United States, with strong knowledge of US tax, retirement, and investment rules.

  • Excellent attention to detail and clear written communication.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Both CFP® and CFA, or additional credentials (CPA, EA, CPWA®, ChFC®, CAIA).

  • Experience at a fee-only RIA, advice-only practice, or established wealth management firm.

  • Experience with equity compensation, retirement income planning, and portfolio construction.


Why Join?

  • Apply your planning expertise to shape how AI systems give real-world financial advice.

  • Fully remote and flexible, at a highly competitive hourly rate.

  • Collaborate with a leading fintech and AI team.
