Financial Consultant - Financial Solutions Branch - Phoenix, AZ

Your opportunity

At Schwab, you’re empowered to make an impact on your career. Here, innovative thought meets creative problem solving, helping us “challenge the status quo” and transform the finance industry together.

The Financial Solutions Branch (FSB) is part of the Specialized Teams for Advice & Relationship (STAR) organization in the Investor Services Branch Network. FSB provides a high-scale dedicated relationship model responsible for serving Mass Affluent investors.

FSB is an extension of the Branch Network and serves our new and existing Mass Affluent clients to deepen engagement, build trust, and provide investment solutions and tools for today’s markets. The team partners closely with a wide range of departments and partners, including the local and national branches, to ensure these clients get the most out of their relationship with Schwab.

Through a blend of human and digital touchpoints, Financial Consultants in the Financial Solutions Branch are tasked with driving engagement, cultivating relationships, and gaining long term client loyalty in working with Schwab’s mass affluent client base. Through engagement, you will support client outreach, client retention, and improve overall client satisfaction as you position yourself to be a key resource in helping clients in finding financial success.

As a Financial Consultant in the Financial Solutions Branch, you will advocate on behalf of your clients by listening and discovering what is most important to them, understanding who they are, and then collaborating with a team of internal specialists to help clients fulfill their financial goals. You will confidently provide wealth management recommendations, advisory guidance, and will discuss timely and relevant topics to drive meaningful outcomes for your clients. Finally, you will grow and retain your practice by responding to your client’s needs, supporting asset consolidation, and continue to partner alongside your clients as you help guide them through their financial journey.

Your typical day would include client outreach, planning and advice discussions, virtual client presentations, discussions of market trends, collaborating with business partners, sharing of best practices within your branch, and additional client engagement driven by digital enhancements to the Schwab platform.

When meeting with clients you will:

• Be Curious and Consultative:  Discover all you can about your clients, see things through their eyes, and then review and recommend appropriate solutions to help them stay on track with their financial goals.
• Be a Trusted Advisor:  Build strong relationships, engage and encourage trust, and deepen the client relationship by applying a focused client communication strategy, and exceeding client expectations.
• Have a Defined Process:  Demonstrate your ability to use technology and deliver appropriate advice and solutions through a repeatable sales process that focuses on addressing clients’ needs.
• Use your Team and Ability to Influence:  Leverage our team of Schwab specialists, Schwab advice guidelines, your knowledge of the markets, and your ability to inspire action to help your client’s progress toward achieving their goals.
• Be a Challenger:  Partner with and Educate Clients. Share and engage clients in discussion about market conditions, sound investing principles, and the ideal wealth and long-term investment strategies for their personal situation
