JPMorganChase Looking For Portfolio Analyst at Mumbai, Maharashtra, Full Time

Working at 55ip means standing at the intersection of finance and technology—and at the cutting-edge of wealth management. We’ve been making rapid progress in our mission: to break down barriers to financial progress for financial advisors and their clients. Our Boston- and Mumbai-based team has built and brought to market a tax-smart investment strategy engine delivering intuitive experience and intelligent automation. Driven by strategic partnerships with world-class asset management firms, such as BlackRock and J.P. Morgan, we’ve experienced breakthrough growth over the last year. Today, over 110 financial advisor firms with $28 billion in assets (and counting) are using 55ip.

If we look a little different, it’s because we are. We’re entrepreneurs, product pros, investment scientists, and customer advocates who aim to deliver an exceptional experience—and have fun doing it. Like lots of companies, we’ve got a deep bench of smart, talented, creative people, but our superpower is something else: hustle. That extra push when others would quit, that new approach nobody else has tried, that ability to thrive at 30,000 feet or dig into the details—and to do it all with humility, empathy, and respect. As we enter an exciting new chapter as a separately-branded subsidiary of J.P. Morgan, we’re looking for top talent—with hustle—to join us on our path to becoming an industry standard.
