About the role
Savvy is hiring its first Legal Operations Associate to refine and mature its legal and compliance function. As a registered RIA and broker-dealer, we have a growing list of FINRA and SEC obligations. Savvy's rapid growth has driven a corresponding surge in compliance and contract volume, outpacing the administrative capacity available to manage it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 3-5+ years of experience in legal operations, compliance, or paralegal roles within the RIA space
- Working knowledge of SEC RIA requirements, including Form ADV, IAR oversight, and third-party/vendor oversight expectations
- Proven experience building and owning a tracking system or process end-to-end (trackers, calendars, logs, repositories)
- Strong attention to detail under hard deadlines and good judgment about what you can handle yourself versus what needs counsel's sign-off
- Clear written communication and the ability to build trust across Legal, Product, Operations, and Finance teams while handling confidential information with discretion
- Comfortable using AI tools day to day, with a habit of checking AI output before relying on it
More about this role
Wealth management is a $545 billion industry that still runs on manual work. 75% of advisors offer no digital communication beyond email, and most still build financial plans by hand in Excel. Savvy is reinventing what it looks like to be a financial advisor. Founder Ritik Malhotra saw the fragmentation firsthand after seeking out his own advisor, and started Savvy to give independent advisors a modern, AI-native home.
Savvy is a registered investment advisor (RIA), and we partner with experienced financial advisors who want to grow without running the back office themselves. Advisors bring their book and join Savvy, running under their own brand (or ours), and Savvy earns a percentage of the assets they manage. In return, they get a true business-in-a-box: a proprietary tech platform and client portal, an in-house marketing team that helps them grow, a world-class investment management team, and a dedicated client services team that runs day-to-day operations and support. Advisors at Savvy service up to 50% more households and save 19 hours a week.
