Your Future Team

Highland Private Wealth Management is a multi-office advisory practice with locations in Bellevue and Ellensburg, providing comprehensive wealth advisory and investment guidance to high-net-worth individuals and families. As a growth-focused practice, Highland is dedicated to helping clients maximize their return on money and life—aligning financial decisions with what matters most. The team takes an integrated approach to wealth management, partnering closely with clients and their broader network of advisors to deliver thoughtful, strategic outcomes over time.

Highland’s philosophy centers on connecting financial success with purpose, empowering clients to live fully while building and protecting their wealth. This is an ideal environment for entrepreneurial professionals: ownership, business development, and meaningful client impact are core to the role. For advisors looking to build and scale their own practice, deepen client relationships, and thrive in a high-performance yet supportive culture, Highland offers a platform where ambition translates into real opportunity. While the role is primarily on-site, it can be based out of either the Bellevue or Ellensburg office, with remote flexibility considered based on experience and location.

• Collaborate with external advisors (e.g., CPAs, attorneys) to enhance client outcomes
• Actively expand professional network through events and relationship-building efforts
• Contribute to and uphold a high-performance, client-first culture

What You’ll Bring

• At least 5 years of experience as an Advisor in wealth management
• Proven track record of growing a book of business
• Series 65 (or equivalent) certification
• Primarily on-site, remote option may be available for non-local candidates dependent upon experience and client base
• Professional designation (CFP®, CFA, CPA, JD) is preferred
• Bachelor's degree is required

What We Offer

• Coverage on the first day of employment for medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid parental leave (16 weeks for primary caregiver and 8 weeks for secondary caregiver)
