  • Community Involvement: Participating actively in local professional and community events and associations to develop and expand your network. Identifying opportunities to deliver community information sessions and financial seminars to grow prospects. Building and maintaining a market profile in the assigned market area. Networking with investment industry specialists while managing a small budget for independent marketing-based activities.

  • Extensive knowledge of competitive offerings, market trends, economic conditions, and the regulatory environment.
  • A valid driver's license and access to a vehicle, to meet clients and prospects within the designated district.

 What’s in it for you?

  • A fast-paced, flexible work environment where you can set your own hours and meet clients when and where it’s convenient for them.
  • A compensation structure that rewards growing and maintaining your client base.
