The Future of Financial Planning The Lead Planner role at Facet is unlike any other in the industry. We’ve stripped away the "old way" of doing business—no cold calling, no commission-chasing, and no mountains of paperwork. We’ve created a role focused entirely on why you became a planner in the first place: to hone your craft and change lives. What Makes This Role Different? Sell Life Change, Not Products: We’ve eliminated the pressure of business development. You aren’t a salesperson for a fund; you are a catalyst for behavior change. Because we utilize a flat-fee model (not AUM-based), your advice is always objective. If a member should pay down debt instead of investing, that’s exactly what you’ll tell them. Focus on the Member, Not Paperwork: We’ve built a proprietary, AI-enabled tech stack and a dedicated support ecosystem (Trading & Operations, Planner Support, and Member Experience) to take the administrative burden off your plate. You don't gather onboarding data or execute trades; you build relationships. Join a Movement: We operate with a "One Facet" mentality—a flat, non-hierarchical structure that eliminates silos. You aren't just joining a company; you’re joining a community of growth-seekers redefining an underserved industry.
