Client Service (trader) | RIA Firm

Job Opportunity: Trader

Jennifer Fukumae with Robert Half's Financial Services division is working with a well-established Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firm in San Ramon, CA. This firm has been around for 30+ years managing over $2B in Assets Under Management and continues to grow. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated professional looking to build a long-term career in wealth management. The firm is seeking a Trader who is eager to gain exposure to successful Financial Advisors and Client Service Associates (CSAs) while developing toward an Advisor career path.

Key Responsibilities

• Primary responsibility will be trading, with exposure to and learning from the Financial Advisor career path for at least the first 3 years
• Execute early-morning trades submitted by Advisors the prior evening and resolve trade-related issues
• Complete accurate data entry and trade documentation in portfolio management and CRM systems (Tamarac)
• Support Advisors with investment analysis, client meeting preparation, and advisor development activities
• Collaborate with Advisors and CSAs to ensure smooth portfolio operations and client service

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• An amazing opportunity for someone interested in progressing toward the Advisor route
• Growth opportunity to join the Advisor Training Program, working closely with an individual Advisor
• Exposure to a collaborative RIA environment with strong mentorship
• Stable, growing firm with over $2B AUM and a long-standing reputation
• Hybrid schedule with excellent work-life balance despite early market hours
• Full-time role offering great benefits and PTO

Requirements

• Someone looking to gain exposure at an RIA and who is comfortable having trading as their primary responsibility initially
• Prior trading experience not required
• 1–2 years of experience in Financial Services, Wealth Management, or an RIA environment
• Bachelor's degree required
• Strong attention to detail, interest in investments, and desire for long-term career growth
• Open to early trading hours (6:30 AM – 2:30 PM) and a hybrid work environment

Location: San Ramon, CA (Hybrid – 2 days in office)

Schedule: Early trading hours (6:30 AM – 2:30 PM, flexible)

Employment Type: Full-Time
