About this opportunity

At Prosperity, exceptional planning begins with exceptional people. We are looking for a leader who brings deep technical expertise and genuine enthusiasm for helping others grow: someone equally energized by solving an intricate financial planning challenge and coaching a colleague toward greater independence.

As our Head of Planning, you will lead our paraplanning team and personally guide select sophisticated high net worth (HNW) and ultra high net worth (UHNW) planning cases. You will also help build a more consistent, scalable planning experience across our partner offices. This is a chance to develop talent, raise standards, embrace innovation, and create meaningful results for advisors and the families they serve.

Why Prosperity

Prosperity Capital Advisors is an SEC registered RIA whose mission is Comprehensive Wealth Management. Simplified. Our approach brings together Financial Planning, Asset Management, Tax Management, Protection Planning, and Legacy Planning through The Bucket Plan® process. We value the strengths of our partner firms while working toward a connected, high performing planning organization. You will have the opportunity to shape how that future is built.

What you will lead and do

· Grow people and capability. Lead, coach, and develop paraplanners; create clear career pathways, high standards, constructive feedback, and a strong, supportive team culture.

· Solve the complex cases. Personally lead sophisticated HNW and UHNW planning involving retirement income, Roth conversions and tax strategy, equity compensation, business owners, and estate coordination; serve as an escalation resource and join key meetings when needed.

· Create a consistent planning experience. Strengthen the Discover, Design, Deliver, Dedicate process, deliverable quality, checklists, and informed by Compliance review standards across offices.

· Make planning smarter and more scalable. Guide workflows using eMoney, Holistiplan, Orion, Salesforce, and Wealth.com; champion responsible automation and AI with human review and sound safeguards.

· Work across One Prosperity. Collaborate with advisors and with Investment, Tax, Insurance, Compliance, Legal, and Operations to share best practices and improve service.

· Own outcomes. Track planning quality, turnaround, revisions, capacity, paraplanner development, and advisor satisfaction; coach the team toward measurable improvement.

Who will thrive here

You are an accomplished technical planner and a thoughtful, hands on leader. You bring humble confidence, a fiduciary mindset, and an entrepreneurial instinct to improve what exists rather than simply maintain it. You invest in people, listen well, give candid and respectful feedback, and follow through. You are curious about technology and AI, but never compromise accuracy, confidentiality, or client trust.

Our team members live five Core Values: People First; Innovation to Evolution; Ownership Mindset; Hungry yet Humble; Positive, Grateful & Fun: and seek to grow through accountable outcomes, execution excellence, resourceful problem solving, rapid adaptation, and helping others succeed.

What you bringEssentials

· 10+ years in financial planning, including service to high net worth clients, and a CFP® designation in good standing.

· Experience leading or mentoring planners or paraplanners, and advanced financial planning software proficiency (eMoney or equivalent).

· Expertise in retirement income, tax, and estate planning; strong writing, communication, and ability to make complexity understandable.

· A fiduciary, client first approach and sound professional judgment.

Additional experience we value

An advanced designation or degree (CPA, CFA, EA, CLU, ChFC, JD); multiple office or multiple brand RIA experience; designing training or quality control programs; and familiarity with Social Security, Medicare/IRMAA, and insurance based planning strategies.

What success can look like in year one

· A clear leveling and development plan for every paraplanner.

· Faster, more reliable planning delivery with fewer revisions.

· Shared planning and quality standards taking hold across offices.

· Stronger advisor confidence and satisfaction with planning support.

· A learning focused team using technology and responsible AI to improve outcomes.
