This position is an integral part of the firm’s commitment to Practice Management. Specifically a Financial Services Representative (FSR) helps Financial Advisors increase revenue by providing a disciplined process for the referral and ongoing service of lower‑revenue clients, so that more of a Financial Advisor’s time, energy and effort can be focused on their highest‑revenue clients.

This role is responsible for bringing clients into the FSR program via the referral process, re‑fact new FSR clients to determine appropriate investment implementation, change client investments to provide a properly diversified and efficient portfolio, and provide ongoing service using a leveraged one‑to‑many model. Clients who are not a fit for the business model are encouraged to move away from D.A. Davidson, and those that bring in substantial additional assets will be offered for reassignment back to the sending Financial Advisor/team.

• Bachelor’s degree required, preferably in business or a related field.
• 2 years of industry experience working with private clients and/or Financial Advisors is preferable.
• FINRA Series 7 and 66.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Motivated, positive attitude.
• Able to work well with a variety of personalities.
• Ability to work efficiently and effectively while balancing multiple demands and competing priorities.
• Able to work independently and be a self‑starter; exceptional organizational skills are a must.
• Ability to organize, analyze, and process large amounts of client account data from multiple sources.
• Demonstrated proficiency in Microsoft Access, Excel and Word software.
• Must have a strong interest in Practice Management and client service, and a desire to grow professionally within the firm.
