The Willis Johnson Wealth (WJW) Wealth Management Development Program is a structured two-year rotational experience designed to build the technical foundation and professional confidence needed for a long-term career in wealth management.

During the program, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to every stage of the client journey, rotating across:

  • Client Onboarding – learn how new client relationships are established and supported
  • Client Operations – serve as “mission control” for paperwork, transfers, and custodial processes
  • Tax Operations – partner with our in-house CPA team during busy season to see tax strategies in action
  • Portfolio Management – contribute to reporting, trading, and investment analysis
  • Financial Planning – support advisors in developing comprehensive, client-centered financial plans
At the end of the program, you’ll be prepared to pursue advancement as a future financial advisor, operations leader, or tax professional.

Our Culture & What We Value

  • Collaborative – You thrive in a team environment, sharing credit, supporting others, and believing that collective success is the goal.
  • Proactive – You anticipate needs, take initiative without being asked, and keep projects moving forward.
