THE OPPORTUNITY

Join a team that’s changing financial services

We're a venture-backed team, building something that changes how financial advisors serve their clients every day.

We hire sharp, curious, and kind people who want to do meaningful work and build something from the ground up, together.

The SHARC in the room

At Zocks, we hire for SHARC - five qualities that define how our best people work and win together.

You move fast without cutting corners. Quick decisions, thoughtful execution - you know when to act independently and when to loop in leadership.

You're a self-starter who celebrates teammates as loudly as your own wins. Humble hustle is your default mode.

Startup life means things shift fast. You lean into change, pivot gracefully, and genuinely enjoy figuring out what's next.

Building something new isn't always smooth. You bounce back stronger, see obstacles as puzzles, and never lose sight of the bigger picture.

You ask the questions others miss. You explore for fun, not just for work - and it shows in the quality of your thinking.

As Director of Implementation, you'll build and lead the team responsible for onboarding, deploying and training Zocks's enterprise and mid-market customers, which include large RIAs, broker-dealers, banks, and other financial services firms. You will build and lead a high-caliber team that drives product configuration, adoption and customer value.

You will be both a builder and an operator. You will recruit and develop the team, design the playbooks and systems that let it scale. You will also be comfortable in front of largest customers, stepping into complex deployments and setting the bar for what great delivery looks like.
