About Earned Wealth

Earned Wealth is disrupting wealth management through a platform verticalized for physicians. We take accountability for better financial outcomes - something lacking in the industry. We exist to liberate physicians - from residency through to retirement - from financial stress so they can focus on what they do best. Our ambition is to deliver unique and first-in-class financial products that are highly personalized around physician needs and delivered in a comprehensive, coordinated, technology-centric and automated way. The product delivers a stunning increase in physician financial outcomes.

We are a highly experienced team backed by leading investors who have successfully launched businesses across healthcare and technology.

Job Summary :
This is a unique opportunity to join a startup with strong traction (substantial funding, tremendous growth, and many happy customers). At the same time, we are still small enough that you will have a meaningful impact, with meaningful equity participation, and play a massive role in shaping our company culture.

Our technology vision is to deliver comprehensive and value-added wealth management services through technology, with three key differentiators:

Best-in-class fintech-grade UI/UX, that delivers comprehensive and alpha-generating wealth management services customized for physicians;
Best-in-class automation built within our technology stack to better service busy physician clients and scale our operations and advisory services;
Patented “Intelligent Advice Engine” with ML-based optimization algorithms delivering more robust and integrated financial recommendations across our 7 wealth domains (investments, tax, insurance, trust & estate, lending, banking, career).

In an industry that lacks both individual guidance and support, our technology and teams are here to provide a technology-centric and personalized approach to Wealth Management and Financial Advice.
