Job description

Lumida is a modern wealth advisor for people who want access to the same opportunities as institutions - public markets, private deals, and alternatives.

Our mission is to transform wealth management - combining investment excellence and the best of trust and estate planning into a modern, tech-first experience.

Our team shares the same mindset as our clients - curious, original, and driven to build what doesn’t yet exist.

We are venture backed and include luminaries such as former SEC Chair Arthur Levitt as an investor. Our leadership and advisory network reflects deep experience.
