Description

Are you interested in being part of a team that is working to transform and do things differently? Do you want to work with cutting-edge technology? If so, LPL Financial is the place for you

LPL Financial (Nasdaq:
LPLA) was founded on the principle that the firm should work for the advisor, and not the other way around.

Today, LPL is a leader* in the markets we serve, supporting more than 20,000 financial advisors, 800 institution-based investment programs and 450 independent RIA firms nationwide.

We are steadfast in our commitment to the advisor-centered model and the belief that Americans deserve access to personalized guidance from a financial advisor.

At LPL, independence means that advisors have the freedom they deserve to choose the business model, services, and technology resources that allow them to run their perfect practice.

And they have the freedom to manage their client relationships, because they know their clients best. Simply put, we take care of our advisors, so they can take care of their clients.

Job Overview:

ClientWorks is our comprehensive advisor workstation designed — and continually refined — to help financial advisors run their business more efficiently.

This system offers a single location to access all client account types, access data, and process business. It includes tools for account opening, client management, trading, moving money, and more.

Our job on the ClientWorks Platform team is to ensure our users have a workstation that is intuitive and easy to use so that they have more time to engage with their clients and prospects.

The Product Manager in this role will be dedicated to achieving that outcome by optimizing the performance and navigability of ClientWorks as well as delivering a suite of platform capabilities that optimize value delivery for our other product development teams.
