As a Retirement Education Specialist and part of the Workplace Education Team, you will be educating plan sponsor employees on their 401(k) plan to achieve client desired outcomes, i.e. increase participation, boost deferrals, and optimize asset allocation.

• Bachelor’s degree
• 3-5 years of experience in 401(k) or financial services
• Knowledge of retirement plans, legislation, and investment principles
• Ability to travel to client sites up to 60-75% annually (this will likely be less during onboarding and then will ramp up)
• Strong relationship management skills to build rapport with plan participants and plan sponsors
• Strong public speaking, presentation, and interpersonal skills
• High attention to detail

What makes you stand out?

• Proficiency in virtual meeting platforms (e.g. Zoom and Teams) and Microsoft Office Suite

Why join our team:

• We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
• We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have an impact on colleagues, clients, and communities.
• Our scale enables us to provide a range of career opportunities, as well as benefits and rewards to enhance your well-being.
