The Senior Investment Strategy Analyst serves as a high-level subject matter expert within the Investment Strategy (IS) team, acting as a crucial resource for Farther Advisors. This individual brings deep capital markets expertise to fill critical organizational needs, focusing on complex investment analysis, model building, and providing advisor-facing seniority. This is a hands-on role where you will balance front-line advisor consultations with rigorous quantitative research, strategic asset allocation, and cross-functional technology development. Your capacity to execute repeatable processes and build scalable solutions will directly drive the firm's growth.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as a senior, advisor-facing resource for ad-hoc consultations, providing expert portfolio analysis, transition strategies, and actionable insights to support client acquisition and retention.
  • Execute complex investment analysis, model building, and thorough post-call support work to ensure advisors are equipped with data-driven narratives.
  • Interface regularly with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to guide the development of internal investment tools.
  • Provide ongoing guidance, mentorship, and development support to junior members of the Investment Strategy team as the group scales.

Requirements

  • CFA designation (or equivalent), with an advanced degree in finance, economics, or a related field.
  • Extensive experience as a client-facing portfolio manager, investment strategist, or senior analyst within an RIA, wirehouse, or multi-asset team.
  • A proven "coach" mentality with the diplomatic skills necessary to respectfully challenge deeply held investment beliefs and navigate disagreements with advisors.
  • Strong technical proficiency in building strategic asset allocation frameworks and conducting quantitative and risk analysis.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset with the agility to adapt to the evolving needs of a growing wealthtech firm.
  • Comfort using AI tools to support financial modeling and process enhancement.
  • Experience working closely with software engineers or product teams to automate investment workflows.
  • Advanced proficiency with tools like Bloomberg and Morningstar.
  • Facility with AI assistants (e.g., Claude) and scripting languages (e.g., Python) to create scalable processes and reduce manual data analysis.
  • Prior experience navigating complex portfolio transitions or building tax-aware investment models.
  • Familiarity with reviewing external manager strategies or supporting an open-architecture investment platform.
