Company Overview Every firm has a culture – the values, beliefs, methodology, attitudes and standards that reflect an organization’s DNA. But the truly inspiring firms – the game‑changers, the industry leaders and the disruptors – have cultures that propel them to innovate and stand out. At Brown Advisory, we aim to be one of those inspired firms. Over the years, we have purposefully built and nurtured our client‑first culture.
Brown Advisory is an independent investment management and strategic advisory firm committed to delivering a combination of first‑class performance, strategic advice and the highest level of client service.

Job Description At Brown Advisory, we foster a collaborative culture where teamwork, open communication and entrepreneurship are at the core of how we achieve success together. To that end, we are seeking an exceptional professional with strong investment knowledge, a proven business‑development track record and a proven record of helping sophisticated, high‑net‑worth individuals and their families make investment‑management decisions to work with us in our Washington, D.C. office.
