We're a fast-growing fintech on a mission to redefine how Latin America manages its finances and this is your opportunity to be a crucial part of that transformation. Join a team of top talent from the world's leading fintech and tech companies, and help build a cross-border financial system that's modern, accessible, and built to scale.

- Build and manage personalized portfolios across the products ARQ offers
- Own the full client relationship lifecycle: discovery, onboarding, review, and retention
- Bring insights from clients back to product to shape what ARQ builds next
- Define what "an ARQ advisor" looks like – your standards, processes, and tooling become the template for every advisor we hire after you.

## What you'll need to succeed

- 3+ years in investment advisory, private banking, wealth management, or a multi-family office in Brazil
- Fluent English – you'll work day-to-day with a team that operates across markets
- Proven ability to source and convert clients on your own
- Strong analytical skills and comfort building portfolios across multiple asset classes.
- ANBIMA certifications (CPA-20 minimum, CEA preferred) and/or CVM-registered as AAI
- The mindset of an owner: hungry, entrepreneurial, comfortable with ambiguity, and ready to build a business inside a business.

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and benefits
- Stock options, so you own part of what you build
- Discretionary performance bonus
- The latest tools and technology
- A world-class team that will challenge and grow your skills
