Manager of 401K Plan Administration and Implementation

This 401(k) Prosperity® division is seeking a driven, strategic, and entrepreneurial leader to become our Manager of 401(k) Retirement Plan Services. You’ll play a dual role—helping serve our current clients while building the future of our retirement plan practice by helping develop new client relationships.

This isn’t a career for someone looking to coast. It’s for the doers—the ones who want to grow something real, earn meaningful equity in their success, and shape a business they can be proud of.

You’ll enjoy competitive compensation, gain-sharing, and origination bonuses. More importantly, you’ll have the autonomy and support to build a thriving department—alongside a passionate team that believes in doing what’s right, not what’s easy.
