Lead Associate Trainer, RIA

Role

As our Lead Associate Trainer, you'll architect the learning and development infrastructure that powers advisor success s isn't about executing someone else's training plan — you'll be the strategic designer who builds comprehensive curriculum frameworks from the ground up, establishes training philosophy grounded in adult learning principles, and creates scalable programs that support advisors throughout their entire journey with us.

You'll bring expertise in curriculum development and instructional design, applying best practices from whatever industries you've worked in before.
