About the role

Company Description

Farther is a rapidly growing RIA that combines expert advisors with cutting-edge technology - delivering a comprehensive, tailored wealth management experience.

Farther’s founders are leaders and innovators from the private wealth industry who possess a unique blend of traditional wealth management, fintech, and technology production expertise. We’re backed by top-tier venture capital firms, fintech investors, and industry leaders.

Joining Farther means joining a collaborative team of entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping their clients and our teammates achieve more. If you’re the type who breaks through walls to get things done the right way, we want to build the future of wealth management with you.

The Role
Our Institutional Advisory team works with nonprofits, foundations, and endowments — and every new relationship starts with a proposal. We're looking for an RFP & Project Specialist to own that process end-to-end: drafting and refining RFPs, RFIs, and client proposals, and keeping every active pursuit and implementation on track. You'll be the connective tissue between sales, advisory, and implementation — giving our team more time to spend in front of clients and less time on the administrative work behind the scenes.
Your Impact

Own the end-to-end drafting, refinement, and submission of RFPs, RFIs, and custom proposals for institutional prospects

Partner with advisors and subject matter experts to translate complex wealth management concepts into clear, persuasive proposal content

Build and maintain project trackers across concurrent sales pursuits and client implementations, flagging risks before they threaten a deadline

Serve as the primary point of coordination across sales, advisory, and implementation workflows, keeping every stakeholder aligned

Use AI tools alongside existing content libraries to accelerate drafting and content organization without sacrificing accuracy or quality

The Ideal Match

3-5 years of experience in proposal writing, sales operations, project management, or advisory support

Background in institutional, technical, or academic writing

Degree or coursework in English, Communications, or Marketing

Prior exposure to financial services, wealth management, or investment concepts

Experience supporting proposal or RFP processes in a regulated or client-facing industry
