Are you a self‑motivated, performance driven, client‑focused professional seeking uncapped growth both financially and professionally?
Join our Northwestern Mutual team and start your career!
About The Role: Our financial advisors at Northwestern Mutual help clients reach their goals by developing and implementing financial plans, guiding them from where they are today to where they want to go tomorrow and providing the financial tools and support to get there. As you build your financial planning practice, you combine the right insurance and investment strategies to guide clients every step of the way. Choose a career where changing someone else’s life for the better is also life‑changing for you – personally, professionally, and financially.
Have you ever thought of starting your own business but not sure how to get started? A successful advisor has typically reached a ceiling and looks for a career change where they can translate their talents elsewhere. They possess an entrepreneurial spirit, experience in business development or sales, strong self‑motivation, interpersonal and communication skills, a high standard of ethics, and show interest in business or finance.
The advisor career with Northwestern Mutual allows one the opportunity to:
Strive to understand clients' goals and visions to develop holistic financial solutions that put them on a path to financial success using tools such as retirement planning, insurance and investment services, estate planning, business planning, education funding, and employee benefits. We also provide guidance on basic financial literacy to help clients achieve financial security long term.
Maintain autonomy and flexibility to build your own practice while receiving support from our firm’s exceptional network of financial specialists, fully paid training and educational programs, and mentoring opportunities. You are in business for yourself but not by yourself!
Develop a career with Northwestern Mutual that not only provides outstanding self‑determined income potential, but will more importantly provide the personal satisfaction of dramatically impacting the lives of others in a professional setting that emphasizes and values relationships and integrity.
While you help provide financial security to your clients, Northwestern Mutual is committed to offering its financial advisors a comprehensive compensation and benefits program which includes:
Commission structure to support early development
Uncapped Income Potential
Renewable Income
Flexibility of your schedule
Sponsorship of Licensing/Credentialing SIE, Series 6, Series 63, CFP, and more
Robust development bonuses to aid as you launch your business
Comprehensive Medical, Dental and Vision Coverage
Group Life and Disability Income Insurance
This is primarily commission based but also includes stipends and bonuses. It allows you to control what you want to earn and how quickly you grow in your career. In the first year as a Financial Representative, our reps make an average of $85,000‑$125,000 in their first year and have the potential for much more.
