Enjoy the rewards of working as part of a team helping clients make financial choices guided by values. You’ll learn the business surrounded by experienced financial advisors and other experts, building your career with the potential to become a partner in the practice.

In this position, you’ll have a stable income and the ability to focus on learning and development and the opportunity to serve clients with mentorship.

Licensing and Training

Over your first 2 to 3 months, you will study for and obtain necessary licenses, including :

  • State Life, Health and Annuity
  • Securities Industry Essentials (SIE)
  • Series 6 and 63 or 7 and 66.

After completing licensing, you may enroll in a comprehensive training program lasting up to eight weeks.

What you can expect

After licensing and training, you’ll start building your book of business with the ultimate goal of joining the sponsoring team in the traditional financial advisor role within three months to three years.

During this period, typical activities include :

  • Meeting with potential clients to build genuine, long-term relationships based on shared values and goals.
  • Educating and empowering clients to make knowledgeable financial decisions about investments, insurance, retirement and generosity.

  • Self-disciplined, independent and driven to succeed.
  • Motivated by helping others and seeing them achieve their goals.
  • A natural coach or guide with strong interpersonal skills.
  • Passionate about living a life of generosity by serving others, not just selling products.

Successful Thrivent Financial advisors have come from a variety of career backgrounds, including outside sales, business management, education, ministry, hospitality, military and more.

Skills acquired in these fields transition well into the financial advisor role.

Compensation and Benefits

You will receive stable income that includes individual and team sales commissions and incentive pay structures. You will also be eligible for Thrivent’s industry-leading benefits :

  • Medical, dental and vision insurance.
  • Disability, accidental death and dismemberment insurance.
