The Innovation Team at Cerity Partners: description. Primary Responsibilities: list. Required Qualifications: list. Skills and Competencies: list. Compensation Range $190,000 - $290,000 (salary & bonus) Why Cerity Partners: list of benefits. We need sections: About the role (maybe combine Position Summary and About Cerity Partners and Innovation Team?), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have no explicit schedule info, so we should not create Schedule section. We have Pay: compensation range. We have Benefits: list from Why Cerity Partners. We have Requirements: maybe Required Qualifications. We have Qualifications: maybe also Required Qualifications? Actually they have "Required Qualifications:" then bullet list. Then "Skills and Competencies:" separate. We could map: - About the role: Position Summary + About Cerity Partners + Innovation Team description (maybe combine). Could be a prose
. - Responsibilities: Primary Responsibilities bullet list. - Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list. - Qualifications: maybe not needed separate; but we could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements, and Skills and Competencies as Skills. - Skills: Skills and Competencies bullet list. - Benefits: list from Why Cerity Partners. - Pay: compensation range. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions. Remove those paragraphs at end. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use
for section headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Thus we need to copy the text exactly? Probably we can paraphrase but must preserve all info. Safer to copy the substantive sentences as is, maybe split into paragraphs.
Let's extract each piece.
Position Summary paragraph: "As a founding engineer of the newly formed Innovation team, you will build and ship solutions with real complexity and scale to tens of thousands of clients. You will also play a key role in foundational decisions about architecture, design, systems, data, and product, wearing both Engineering and Product hats. This is a rare opportunity to build product at the 0 to 1 stage, and ship it immediately to scale. You will work directly with Will Peng, Chief Innovation Officer — a former founder of a fintech company that raised $40M and exited in 2025."
About Cerity Partners paragraph: "Cerity Partners is the one of the largest and fastest growing independent financial advisory firms, managing over $160+ billion in assets under management, and over $1 trillion assets under advisement. We serve high- and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, business owners, and institutions with comprehensive financial planning, investment, tax, and retirement solutions. Backed by growth capital from Genstar Capital, Warburg Pincus, and Lightyear Capital, Cerity Partners ranks in the top 10 RIA's in the country by Barron's. Founded in 2009, we are extremely entrepreneurial and feel we are still in the early innings. Our mission is to make every client steadier than we found them. We measure ourselves not by what we deliver, but by whether the people who trust us are better for it. Advice, service, and care do not bend to compensation, affiliation, or convenience — and they do not bend to the size of the client. We uphold the fiduciary standard at its highest levels."
Innovation Team paragraph: "Cerity Partners' Innovation Team is the firm's center of excellence for the strategy and deployment of technology and applied AI. We are combining the best of technology and professional services to build the future of financial services. We believe the biggest opportunity is in the application of AI to scaled, complex industries like wealth and investment management — to raise the bar for quality of service, in service to our clients. This is a rare opportunity to join a generational company at a key inflection point. We are extremely ambitious and entrepreneurial, and approach innovation with a 'blank sheet of paper' mindset — so there will be no shortage of exciting technical challenges to work on. We approach every problem through the lens of experience and design, with the client at the center. Our team partners with colleagues across the entire business to understand workflows, and create cohesive experiences across the client, advisor, and colleague journey. Our vision is to build the new OS of wealth intelligence. We are building the entire AI stack — harness, context, memory, evals, agents, models, workflows, data, knowledge — both in applying it to wealth management, as well as in how we work and collaborate with each other. By fully leveraging the insights and institutional expertise of the firm, we will move the firm into a client-first, AI-native era."
Primary Responsibilities bullet list: need to capture each bullet.
From text:
"Own the end-to-end experience: The Innovation Team is highly autonomous, and you will be responsible for full user journeys and business goals, not just a silo. You will build the solution or partner with the best vendor — whatever is the best for the need — and integrate them into a cohesive platform. You will have the opportunity to build both 0-to-1, as well as scale products post-launch."
"Build in partnership with clients, advisors, and colleagues: Identify high value opportunities, understand their needs and root problems, map workflows, test prototypes and hypotheses, and build and advocate for the best experience."
"Establish foundational engineering principles and product strategy: The decisions you make about engineering and product are the foundation of our platform, architecture, data, client experience, advisor experience, and colleague experience. These are decisions that can drive business strategy, goals, differentiation, and prioritization."
"Build at the cutting edge of applied AI: Work across every part of the AI stack — harness, context, memory, evals, agents, models — both in applying it to wealth management, as well as in how we work and collaborate."
