The Role

LearnLux is hiring a Certified Financial Planner® to join a fast-growing team that's redefining what financial wellness looks like at work. You'll bring deep equity compensation expertise to help members make sense of complex, high-stakes decisions, while also serving the full range of people we support, from those just starting to build savings to high net worth clients navigating significant wealth.

This is a chance to shape how a growing startup delivers financial guidance, working directly with employees rather than behind a desk, and helping build the playbook as we go.

This role is 100% remote within the US and reports to the Director of Financial Planning.

What you’ll do

• Serve as the team's go-to expert on equity compensation, helping members understand what they hold, what they owe, and what to do next
• Meet with clients remotely over video, chat, and email on the full range of financial topics: budgeting, student loans, retirement readiness, equity compensation, debt management, investments, taxes, and more
• Shape how LearnLux responds to a changing financial and regulatory environment, applying the LearnLux methodology to real client situations
• Bring your expertise into weekly team meetings to sharpen the whole team's approach
• Become fluent in your client company's benefit plans so you can act as an extension of their team
• Partner with our content team to build outlines, lessons, and video content, with a natural emphasis on equity compensation and tax planning topics
• Design and lead engagement campaigns for employer partners, including webinars and occasional on-site events
• Provide coverage across shifts from 7 AM to 11 PM ET Monday through Friday, and 9 AM to 4 PM ET on Saturdays

You should bring

• An active CFP® designation with at least 5 years of experience after achieving the designation
• Strong, hands-on experience advising on holistic financial plans including equity compensation and the tax and planning implications that come with it
• Comfort moving between high net worth planning and everyday financial guidance without treating either as an afterthought
• A genuine drive to help people take control of their financial future, whatever their starting point
• The ability to manage multiple priorities, take direction from several team members, and act on your own initiative
• Broad experience across personal finance: retirement, investments, budgeting, debt management, student loans, cash flow planning, digital currencies, estate planning, insurance, taxes, and more

It would be great if you also

• CPA® or Enrolled Agent (EA) designation
• Certification in Credit Counseling
• Additional Certifications
• Startup and/or Fintech experience
• Bi-lingual (Spanish)
• Experience creating presentations and presenting to large audiences virtually or in-person
• Availability to work occasional evenings and Saturday’s
• Ability to occasionally travel to on-site events

LearnLux is a fit for you if you

• Thrive in fast-moving environments and enjoy building in moments of change. We operate with urgency, and roles, priorities, and approaches evolve as we grow.
• Like wearing multiple hats and helping define the path forward. At LearnLux, roles evolve as we grow, and employees often help create clarity, structure, and direction where it didn’t previously exist.
• Take initiative and don’t wait to be asked. You see problems as opportunities and are comfortable stepping in to move work forward.
• Are energized by ambiguity and willing to make decisions with imperfect information. We learn quickly by doing, and pace is a competitive advantage for us.
• Enjoy being hands-on and owning work end to end. While strategic thinking matters, execution, follow-through, and accountability are what drive impact here.
• Are motivated by high standards and continuous improvement. As we hit new milestones, we intentionally raise the bar on quality, ownership, and outcomes.
• Value clear, frequent communication and collaboration. As a remote team, staying aligned through proactive communication is core to how we operate.

Benefits

• Remote-first company structure
• Medical, dental, and vision
• 401(k)
• Mental wellbeing (Talkspace)
• Financial wellbeing (LearnLux)
• Paid vacation and sick leave
• Paid sabbatical after 5 years of service
