Job description

Senior Financial Consultant (Mid-Career Transition Track)

Thinking about a mid-career pivot Don't start from scratch. Leverage the life experience you've already built.

A mid-career transition can feel incredibly daunting. The thought of entering a new industry, fighting a corporate hierarchy, or risking financial stability keeps many talented professionals trapped in unfulfilling roles.

But what if you didn't have to start over What if your maturity, communication skills, and real-life financial perspective were actually your greatest assets

Singapore's wealth management sector is booming—with assets under management growing to S$6.07 trillion and an aging population driving unprecedented demand for retirement planning. The market is actively looking for mature, trusted financial adviser representatives.

At Polaris Advisory Branch 1 (under PIAS), we specialize in transitioning professionals from non-finance backgrounds into world-class Wealth Management Consultants.

Why Your Past Career is Your Unfair Advantage

You do not need a finance degree or prior advisory experience to make a successful transition. What matters is the real-world experience, professional maturity and transferable skills you have developed throughout your career.

Whether your background is in sales, operations, client service, education, healthcare, technology, logistics, entrepreneurship, public service, management, or any other field, you may already have strengths that clients value: the ability to listen, communicate clearly, build trust, solve problems, manage responsibilities and guide people through important decisions.

Your career and life experience have also given you a practical understanding of real financial priorities—supporting family, managing commitments, planning for the future and navigating change. This allows you to connect with clients authentically and advise them from a perspective that is grounded and trusted.

At Polaris Advisory Branch 1, we help you translate these existing strengths into a professional wealth management practice, with the training, mentorship and platform to build a meaningful new career.

The Right Environment to De-Risk Your Switch

The biggest mistake mid-career switchers make is trying to figure it out alone. We wrap an entire ecosystem of support around you:

• Elite Leadership: You will be personally developed under the mentorship framework of Edy Hartono, B.Eng, CFP, IBF Fellow (Senior Financial Services Director and former President of the Financial Planning Association of Singapore). Edy is highly passionate about building a professional team culture focused on strong ethics and sustainable growth.
• Validated Success Engine: Under Edy's leadership, Polaris Advisory Branch 1 has consistently produced top-tier industry achievers, including MDRT, COT, and TOT qualifiers. You aren't guessing what works; you are plugging into a proven blueprint.
• The Power of an Open Platform (PIAS): Backed by Professional Investment Advisory Services Pte Ltd (PIAS)—a pioneering, MAS-licensed firm with 25 years of heritage—you will have open-architecture access to market-wide solutions. You can genuinely put your client's needs first across savings, investments, protection, and retirement.

What Your Transition Looks Like

Through a highly structured development pathway, you will master:

• Holistic Wealth Architecture: Portfolio analysis, retirement modeling, and estate planning.
• Advanced Client Needs Analysis: Shifting from transactional sales to deep, life-stage advisory.
• Compliance & Ethics: Navigating MAS regulations, documentation, and industry best practices flawlessly.

The Transition Support Safety Net

We understand you have financial commitments. We have built a framework specifically designed to minimize the friction of your career pivot:

• Financial Security Track: A competitive structure featuring a monthly allowance, commissions, and performance incentives to stabilize your income during the transition.
• Tailored Mid-Career Training: A structured curriculum designed for individuals completely new to the wealth management industry.
• 1-on-1 Joint Field Mentorship: Direct, hands-on guidance where senior financial adviser representatives support you in your early client conversations.
• Certification Sponsorship: We fully cover the costs of your required CMFAS licensing examinations and provide study tracks to ensure your success.
• True Autonomy: Flexible working arrangements that let you take control of your time, life, and long-term business equity.
