• Support members and build trusting relationships via text-based chat, phone, and video calls
• Proactively engage members through various life events, providing both financial and emotional support
• Consult with cross-functional teams as a subject-matter expert on financial planning

• You'll do "real" financial planning centered around the needs of the employee—no business development, no investment trading.
