Market Director

You're someone who’s ready to lead with purpose—someone who knows how to build strong advisor teams, grow a local presence, and guide others toward meaningful success.

As a Market Director, you’ll be a key leader in your region. You’ll help shape the future of our business by recruiting top talent, mentoring new advisors, and bringing together people, tools, and ideas that make a lasting impact. If you’re energized by developing others, building relationships, and making things happen at a local level, this might be your next big move.

• Build a strong local advisor team by finding and hiring people aligned with our purpose
• Help new advisors get off to a strong start—with guidance, encouragement, and a plan
• Support individual advisors and teams as they build practices rooted in trust and community
• Foster a culture that values performance, collaboration, and growth
• Partner with internal teams to make sure your market has the right tools and support in place

What You Bring

You’re a people leader with a background in financial services—and a track record of helping others grow. You know how to spot talent, build trust, and coach people toward success.

We’re looking for someone with the following qualifications:

• 5 years in financial services, ideally focused on hiring and developing advisor talent
• Experience recruiting and supporting advisors—especially within team structures
• Confidence in leading group discussions and breaking down complex topics
• A history of strong results in sales across life, health, annuity, and investment products
• A four-year college degree (preferred)
• Willingness to work alongside advisors in the field as they develop their skills

Licensing & Requirements

• FINRA Series 7, 63/65 or 66 (required or obtained within 90 days)
• Insurance licenses in life, health, and variable lines (or obtained within 90 days)
• Registration in all states aligned to your advisor group
• A clean compliance record and satisfactory background check
• Flexibility to travel locally—up to 50% of the time—and attend occasional evening events
• A reliable vehicle for business travel
