ABOUT US :

Come join the dynamic team at Kestra Financial! Kestra Financial provides a leading independent advisor platform that empowers sophisticated, independent financial professionals, including traditional and hybrid RIAs, to prosper, grow, and provide superior client service. With a culture rich in reinvention and advisor advocacy, Kestra Financial has developed integrated business management technology that, combined with its personalized consulting services, offers exceptional scale and efficiency. Kestra Financial supports independent financial advisors in delivering comprehensive securities and investment advisory services to their clients.

The primary focus of this role is to provide VIP-level technical support to Kestra advisors on accessing and using Kestra websites, applications, and third-party systems.

This role requires the ability to learn new applications quickly, understand the business rules governing data management, and recognize how various systems interconnect.
