## About the role

StartEngine is launching a full robo-advisory offering, converting our existing base of ~3,000 Private-fund clients onto a discretionary, algorithmically-managed platform built around a 50/30/20 portfolio philosophy. We're hiring one person to build it: a working investment leader who has personally designed and run model portfolios before, not someone who has only managed a team that did.

## What they're looking for

- You have personally built and run model portfolios at a small-to-midsize RIA or robo-advisor — hands-on, not delegated
- CFA charter or equivalent demonstrated track record, we care more about what you've shipped than the letters after your name
- Working knowledge of modern portfolio theory, asset allocation methodology, and passive fund/ETF selection
- Comfortable being publicly named as the face of an investment strategy, including in regulatory disclosures
- Able to write product requirements an engineering team can build from directly, without a translator
- Startup mindset: you're building this function from scratch, not inheriting a department
