Financial Advisor (Santa Barbara County)

Looking to make an impact at a unique and mission-centered financial services organization? Join Covenant Trust as a Financial Advisor!

At Covenant Trust, you will be the ambassador and primary driver of our mission to provide trusted and uncompromising financial guidance and products to our clients throughout the communities we serve.

Financial Advisors become part of the communities they serve by making positive, meaningful changes in the lives of others. High visibility presence and engagement include business and relationship development activities with existing clients and prospects within established affinity networks; development of additional networks; travel within your assigned market area; and establishing oneself as a financial solutions provider. We help our clients achieve their financial goals and charitable purposes.

Through a consultative process of understanding a client’s financial needs and unique goals, our Financial Advisors demonstrate the value of becoming a Covenant Trust client and our ability to serve the changing needs of clients throughout generations.

Key Responsibilities

• Start with a solid foundation: Step into an existing book of clients from a network of retirement communities and affinity networks who trust Covenant Trust’s mission and services. This strong client base affords opportunities to focus on deepening relationships and expanding your practice rather than starting anew.
• Strengthen your competitive advantage within your personal developing networks and community by leveraging Covenant Trust’s investment management services, trust administration services, and gift planning products and services.
• Enhance client retention by building trust, establishing strong relationships, and communicating effectively with clients. Empower and embolden clients by providing ongoing education regarding their financial decisions.
• Work collaboratively with team members, Trust Officers, and Trust Administrators to provide a fiduciary level of client care that matches client needs to our wide array of financial solutions: Investment Management, Retirement Planning, Income Planning, Trust Administration, Estate Planning, and Gift Planning.
• Provide holistic, purpose-driven financial planning solutions to individuals and institutions.

What We Look For:

• Five (5) years of experience in the financial services or related industry.
• CFP® designation preferred, or other demonstrated financial expertise or competencies.
• Previous experience using a CRM.
• Previous success in managing a book of clients is a plus.
• Prior experience with Right Capital, Salesforce, MS platforms is a plus.
• A heart for serving others and a passion for helping individuals and mission-centered institutions achieve their financial and charitable planning goals.
• Periodic travel throughout assigned territory to meet with prospects/clients.
• This role is based in Santa Barbara (Covenant Living at the Samarkand), but many of our advisors commute from nearby communities (e.g., Goleta, Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks) and we offer scheduling flexibility to support a reasonable commute.

Salary and Benefits:

• Competitive base salary : $90,000-110,000 plus a goal-driven bonus opportunity & structured bonus opportunity.
• Comprehensive benefits package : choice of three medical plans; prescription drug coverage; dental; vision; employer-paid life and disability; structured bonus; 401(k) with employer match; 11 paid holidays; PTO; paid volunteer time off; and a range of voluntary benefits (accident and critical illness coverage, auto and home insurance, pet insurance, identity theft protection).
