What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a collaborative leader who can think critically, communicate effectively, and approach complex regulatory challenges with both confidence and perspective.

You’ll be successful in this role if you:

• Have a strong understanding of FINRA Rule 2210, SEC advertising requirements, and other regulations applicable to financial services communications.
• Can interpret complex regulatory requirements and translate them into clear, practical guidance.
• Enjoy coaching others and creating an environment where associates feel supported, challenged, and empowered to make decisions.
