• Provide education that empowers members to maximize their employer benefits, including health plans, equity programs (ISOs, NSOs, RSUs, ESPP), and related tax implications
• Offer guidance on cash flow, debt payoff, saving, and investing—tailored to each member's life stage and goals
• Support members and build trusting relationships via text-based chat, phone, and video calls
• Proactively engage members through various life events, providing both financial and emotional support
• Consult with cross-functional teams as a subject-matter expert on financial planning

• This is a registered position (S65) and must be eligible for IAR registration in your state of residence
• Expertise in all major financial planning topics: budgeting, saving, and paying down debt; risk management, insurance, and employee benefits; investments; tax planning; retirement savings and income planning; estate planning
• A track record of providing client-first, comprehensive financial plans to customers in all life stages and from all walks of life

• You'll do "real" financial planning centered around the needs of the employee—no business development, no investment trading.
• You'll be at the forefront of how financial planning evolves, working at the intersection of 1-on-1 advice and AI-driven guidance.
