Who We Are

Ellevest is an investing and wealth management company built by women, for women. In a sea of financial services, we stand apart with our mission to get more money in the hands of women. We started by building the only gender-aware investing platform that takes totally un-ignorable realities  — like pay gaps, different salary curves, and women’s longer lifespans — into account. Then we added financial planning services for Ellevest clients, plus a full-service private wealth management service that helps high net worth people, families, and institutions align their financial power with their values.

Ellevest was founded by Wall Street veteran, Sallie Krawcheck. Before Ellevest, Krawcheck was one of the only financial executives of her generation to have held C-suite roles at the largest global banks — as CEO of Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, US Trust, and Sanford Bernstein and as CFO of Citi. As a venture-funded business, we’ve beat impossibly long odds to raise $145 million in venture capital funding (women CEOs raise $1 out of every $10,000 Series B fintech dollars). Our investors include: Rethink Impact, Venus Williams, Valerie Jarret, Pivotal Ventures, and Melinda Gates’ family office. 

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Ellevest is an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity at our company. We believe Data shows that diverse teams are more innovative, make better decisions, and lead to greater employee engagement. When hiring, we look for culture add, not culture fit. That means hiring people who bring new perspectives and different experiences to our team. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

• Excellent communication skills and ability to project manage across multiple stakeholders
• Ability and desire to adapt to a fast-paced and dynamic work environment. This includes working independently and on a team.

Ellevest's compensation framework is based on data, benchmarking, research for comparable companies, and our internal pay equity policies. The prospective hourly rate for this role is $50 - 80/hour. The actual offer, reflecting the total compensation package and benefits, will be determined by a number of factors including (but not limited to) the applicant's experience, skills, certifications, as well as internal equity among our team. This is an independent contractor position and is not eligible for health insurance, retirement, or parental leave benefits.
