The Role
Farther is a fast-growing RIA on a mission to make quality financial guidance accessible to everyone. We're a lean, scrappy team doing things differently — and our People team is no exception. We're looking for a Benefits Manager to own Farther's benefits function end-to-end. This is a brand-new role, which means you'll get to build it. If you're the kind of person who digs into the details, thrives in ambiguity, and loves making complex programs run smoothly, let's talk.
