Our Client Group Rotational Associate Program is hiring graduating seniors to work at our headquarters in Nashville, TN. Each Associate will participate in up to 4 six-month rotations over a two-year period. Each rotation will require you to learn a new, or expand an existing, skill set and complete projects that are critical to the success of the group, department or firm. Any relevant certifications and designations you wish to pursue, such as the Series 7 and CFA, will be sponsored by the firm. During the program you will also be matched with mentors who will help with your assimilation into the firm. Upon successful completion of each rotation, you will present what you learned and contributed to a committee of senior Client Group executives and program administrators. Associates will meet with program leaders to review available career paths and work together to determine their next rotation (based on the firm’s needs and the Associates’ interests). Once your final rotation concludes, you will be placed into a fixed role within the firm.
