Careers at Strongpoint Partners
There's a person behind every plan.

What This Work Looks Like
Behind every retirement plan is a business owner who wants to take care of their people, and employees who are counting on it being done right.
Our teams design those plans, keep them compliant, and administer them with an intense attention to detail: testing, contributions, distributions, government filings, and the year-round consulting that keeps a plan working. The work runs on a calendar. Testing season through the spring, Form 5500 filings through the fall, and plan reviews with clients before the year turns. Most of our administrators did not study this in school. They arrived careful, curious, and willing to learn something complex, and we trained them. If that sounds like you, we would like to meet you.

Our values are how we hire:
• Stronger Together
You will never work a complicated plan alone. Our consultants, actuaries, and specialists share expertise across the entire partnership, and asking is how the work gets done here.
• Obsess Over the Customer
Our clients are small- and medium-sized businesses who count on us for accuracy and urgency. You will know them by name, and they will know yours.
• Strive to Be Better Everyday
We view feedback as a gift. That applies to the feedback you receive and to the ideas you bring us.
• Do Right Things, Do Things Right
Honesty, integrity, and an intense attention to detail. In this industry, that is the whole job.
• Seek to Understand Why
We hire problem solvers and give them the data, knowledge, and experience of the full partnership to work with.
• Own the Outcome
You will have real responsibility and the support to carry it.
What to Expect
Hometown Teams. National Strength.
When you join Strongpoint, you join one of our partner firms. Many were founded decades ago by people whose names are still on the door, and each kept its team, its clients, and the local relationships it spent years building. That is the hometown part, and it does not change.
What changes is what stands behind you. Shared technology, specialists in plan documents, compliance, and actuarial work, and colleagues across the partnership who have almost certainly seen your situation before. Our firms are proudly independent in service and united in expertise.
“Regarding new talent, the talent acquisition team has been incredible in finding great talent to fit and exceed our firm’s needs. They’ve eased the screening process and narrowed down suitable candidates. Also, we had a scenario where an employee was not a great fit at another SPP partner firm and we took her on and she’s been an incredible addition to our SMS team.”

What to Expect
Invest in your career.
We will, too.
Strongpoint is built on credentialed expertise, and we invest in building more of it. Our Actuarial Career Development Program is a nine-month rotational program pairing real client work with structured mentorship and credentialed exam support, putting participants on the path to Enrolled Actuary eligibility. The inaugural cohort convened at our Chicago headquarters in mid-2026.
Because the partnership is national, once you’re a part of Strongpoint, your next role will not require a new employer. Our Internal Mobility Application opens every position across all of our firms, and our Talent Acquisition team will work through it with you.
We Work Flexibly
Most of our roles are remote or hybrid, and that isn't a temporary arrangement.
Specifics vary by firm and role, and your recruiter will walk you through what applies to the job you're considering.
• Flexible PTO, with nothing to accrue and no counting
• Health, dental, and vision coverage
• A 401(k) – naturally!
• Support for coursework and credentials
Don't just take our word for it – but we’re pretty great.
We're certified as a Great Place to Work®, based entirely on what our own team told the surveyors. In fact, 93% of our team would recommend working at Strongpoint Partners to a friend.
