Client Development Specialist

At Willis Johnson Wealth, we’re growing—and we’re looking for motivated individuals to join our Client Development team.

This role is designed for people who are strong communicators, highly coachable, and motivated to build a long-term career in financial services. You do not need prior sales experience to succeed here.

In fact, some of our top performers come from backgrounds like teaching, athletics, coaching, hospitality, and other people-focused roles. They succeed because they know how to connect with others, follow a process, and stay resilient through challenges.
If you’re someone who enjoys working with people, takes pride in doing things the right way, and is motivated to grow, we’ll provide the training and support to help you succeed.

The same way we take care of our clients, we invest in our team. We provide a very competitive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, disability/life insurance, 401(k), and PTO. We pride ourselves on supporting personal and professional growth. We encourage continued education for all employees and support participation in educational conferences and events. We’re tech-forward and trust our team to get their jobs done without micromanaging.
