Job Description

Working closely with our Investment Desk, you will review unique investment situations and rebalance accounts. You will utilize proprietary software and construct spreadsheets. You must be an organized person. Note that the financial industry involves significant paperwork.

You need to have or obtain a Series 65 or equivalent set of licenses prior to starting this role. Learn more about licensing here. Contact us at [e-mail] if you have questions.

This position offers ample opportunity for growth, making it an ideal fit for candidates looking to expand their knowledge and pursue a new challenge. We will provide extensive on-the-job training and several paths for advancement.

This position is located in Saratoga Springs, NY. At the start of this role, you will need to complete four months of training in-person at our headquarters in Burlington, Vermont.

In this role, you will:

• Work directly with new and existing clients.

• Give each client situation careful attention and scrutiny.
• Work with the Investment Desk to coordinate trading and rebalancing.
• Utilize CRM to carefully manage client portfolios and keep detailed records.
• Answer questions and help train new advisors and staff members.
• This is a house advisor position, and you will not be expected to solicit clients. If you do bring in clients on your own, there is a generous commission for doing so. (Note that we are fiduciaries. Only clients pay us, and they can see clearly what they pay. This is NOT commission for selling products.)
• You will be expected to help close leads from new prospects who have contacted us about joining the firm.

Qualifications

• Be an excellent communicator, both written and verbal.
• Have an interest in investing, finance, and economics.
• Possess a positive attitude, tremendous grit, and the ability to prioritize.
• Enjoy cultivating and managing long-term relationships with clients.
• Be skilled at developing trust with clients.
• Maintain a high standard for client service, attention to detail, and documentation.
• Be proactive: identify opportunities and problems and take them to the next level without being asked.
• Be able to “wear multiple hats” and quickly adapt to changing priorities.
• Focus on processes and controls with the ability to assess risk.
• Have a commitment to maintaining confidentiality and ethical standards.
• Share our firm’s mission and investment philosophy of lowering fees and espousing the value of diversified, low-cost index funds.
• Commission: One Day In July has a commission program that over time can more than double to triple base salary for diligent, hard-working advisors. Part one of the commission program is available from the start, assuming you have your license. The second part is available after one year. (Note that we are fiduciaries. Only clients pay us, and they can see clearly what they pay. This is NOT commission for selling products.)
• 401k plan with low-cost index funds and One Day In July strategy embedded. No high fee funds (this matters greatly, as you’ll learn if you work here)! Available after meeting eligibility requirements.
• 401k match. Available after meeting eligibility requirements.
• Paid vacation. Number of weeks commensurate with experience. Includes the luxury of being required (yes, required) by the firm’s founder to disconnect from work on your vacation days.
• An excellent Mac laptop with a fast processor and retina screen, a sit-down / stand-up desk, plenty of space to work comfortably, relatively private work areas, and other resources for top productivity. Our employees are not cogs in a machine and we don’t treat them that way.
