The Role

As a Noviam Investment Analyst, you’ll work hand in hand with a Lead Advisor, support and service an existing book of client relationships, and gradually take on more responsibility, including leading client reviews, participating in growth initiatives, and developing into a full Investment Advisor Representative. It’s structured, fast-paced, and built so that the more you put in, the further you go.

How

you'll work:

Client meetings held both in person and over video conference

Competitive base salary plus performance bonus, with financial support while you train and license

A long-term growth opportunity with a defined path to Investment Advisor Representative

What you'll do

Support and service existing clients: RMDs, income planning, investment planning, distributions, and legacy planning support

Prepare for client meetings and own the follow-up so nothing falls through the cracks

Lead client progress reviews (with support as needed) and track every relationship’s next step

Grow your own network and bring in new client relationships through referrals, introductions, and community engagement — the foundation of the book you'll build

Coordinate with custodians and financial institutions on account opening, transfers, and maintenance

Process service requests and paperwork accurately from start to finish

Maintain detailed, reliable client records in CRM and planning software

Communicate proactively with clients to ensure timely follow-through

Participate in team meetings, seminars, networking events, and educational programs

Follow established processes, and help make them better

The Noviam Pathway

You won’t be thrown in. Noviam manages your development end to end, from recruitment through to a fully licensed, client-ready advisor:

Recruit: We source driven people through university partnerships, career events, and targeted outreach. No prior finance experience required.

Why This Is a Career Worth Choosing

Plenty of entry‑level roles pay a salary. Far fewer hand you a profession, a mentor, sponsored credentials, and a path to building your own book of client relationships as an Investment Advisor Representative, all at once.

Here’s what makes this different:

You’re
trained, not thrown in: A structured program prepares you before you’re expected to perform.

You’re
sponsored: We pay for and support your required licensing. You don’t fund your own start.

You’re
supported while you ramp: Financial support during training and licensing so you can build a career, not chase a paycheck.

You’re
mentored: Joint work, hands‑on coaching, and the chance to learn directly from top performers.

You can go far: Encouragement and support to pursue designations such as CFP® and ChFC®, plus performance bonus and upside that grows with your own book of client relationships.

The path runs well past your own book of clients. Our strongest advisors move into leadership, mentoring new analysts and then…
