About The Position

The Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) role begins with dedicated training to obtain securities industry licenses, including the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE), Series 7, and Series 66 exams. After licensing, the employee learns foundational advisory skills, including acquiring, building, and managing client relationships; considering clients’ financial circumstances; and providing advice and solutions. After achieving key milestones, the employee begins working in a financial center to deliver core banking and investment solutions and client care. Successful Stage I advisors typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, where they develop and deepen relationships within a client portfolio, with potential advancement into other roles at Bank of America and Merrill.

The role is subject to SAFE Act registration requirements. Employees involved in residential mortgage loan origination must register with the federal registry, complete the required background check and registration process, and remain in good standing. Failure to obtain or maintain registration may result in termination. The job includes structured licensing lessons and dedicated study time; the SIE must be obtained within 30 days of hire, and Series 7 and Series 66 within 120 days (Series 63 and 65 are accepted in lieu of Series 66).

The position is open across the market, and the specific Financial Center location will be determined based on business needs. The employee will train at one financial center and may initially work in a phone-based capacity until a financial center location within a reasonable commuting distance is determined, to the extent permitted by law. The schedule is Monday through Friday with rotating Saturdays, first shift, 40 hours per week.
