Remote Ria Firm Jobs in Seattle, WA (NOW HIRING)

Your Future Team

Highland Private Wealth Management is a multi-office advisory practice with locations in Bellevue and Ellensburg, providing comprehensive wealth advisory and investment guidance to high-net-worth individuals and families. As a growth-focused practice, Highland is dedicated to helping clients maximize their return on money and life—aligning financial decisions with what matters most. The team takes an integrated approach to wealth management, partnering closely with clients and their broader network of advisors to deliver thoughtful, strategic outcomes over time.

Highland’s philosophy centers on connecting financial success with purpose, empowering clients to live fully while building and protecting their wealth. This is an ideal environment for entrepreneurial professionals: ownership, business development, and meaningful client impact are core to the role.
