Relationship Development Associate – Financial Services

Looking to build a career as a Financial Advisor? This is where that starts.

A lot of people are rethinking what they want from a career right now. Maybe you were laid off. Maybe you watched it happen to people around you. Maybe you graduated into a job market that feels unstable and uncertain. Maybe you've been in financial services for years and you're ready for something more.

Whatever brought you here — this might be worth reading.

At Financial Growth Partners, we're hiring across all experience levels. That's not a disclaimer. It's the point.

We believe the best teams are built from people at different stages — those who are hungry and just getting started, and those who are experienced and ready to do more. Both have a place here. Both are valued here.

The Role

We're looking for Financial Advisors and Relationship Development Associates to join our growing teams across Southern Virginia — Virginia Beach, Richmond, and Charlottesville.

If you're new, you'll learn how to build professional relationships, communicate value, and support real client work inside a mentorship-driven environment. Responsibilities grow with you.

If you're experienced, you'll find the platform, planning depth, and collaborative culture that makes your next chapter worth building.

What You'll Do

·    Build and develop professional relationships with clients and prospects

·    Support and participate in financial planning and client strategy conversations

·    Grow your network and your book of business over time

·    Work alongside experienced advisors, specialists, and leaders

·    Pursue licensing and credentials with full training and support provided

·    Take on leadership opportunities as your experience and production grow

Growth & Licensing

For those newer to the industry, we provide full support toward:

·    Life & Health Insurance License

·    Securities Industry Essentials (SIE)

·    Series 7

·    Series 66

For experienced advisors already licensed, you'll have immediate access to advanced planning capabilities, joint work opportunities, and a clear path into leadership and team building.

The Platform Behind You

Financial Growth Partners is a subsidiary of Guardian — one of the nation's largest and most respected mutual insurance companies, with more than 160 years of helping individuals, families, and business owners build financial security.

Through Park Avenue Wealth Management, our advisors access sophisticated planning tools, investment platforms, and practice management resources designed to help you grow and serve clients at a higher level.

You're not going it alone. You're building something real with real backing.

What Makes This Different

A lot of roles promise growth. This one is structured around it.

·    Mentorship from advisors who are invested in your success

·    Collaborative team culture — not a sink-or-swim environment

·    Entrepreneurial freedom backed by a nationally recognized platform

·    Compensation that grows with your licensing, production, and responsibility

·    Leadership pathways for those who want to build teams and make a larger impact

·    Benefits including Defined Benefit Plan, 401(k) with Match and Roth options, health and dental

Who This Is For

If you're early in your career or making a change:

·    You're motivated, coachable, and ready to invest in yourself

·    You want something you can build and own, not just a paycheck

·    You're drawn to relationships, leadership, and long-term upside

·    A degree is a plus — not a requirement

If you're an experienced advisor:

·    You've built a track record and you're ready for more

·    You want deeper planning resources, better collaboration, or a path into leadership

·    Series 7 and 66 preferred — but let's have the conversation
