Financial Advisors

Being a Thrivent financial advisor isn’t just a job – it’s a career that can be as profitable as it is purposeful.

With 120 years of financial strength and recognition as a Fortune 500 company, Thrivent equips you with the tools, training and support to grow, serve others with confidence, and make a meaningful impact on the people and communities you care about.

Success isn’t one-size-fits-all – so we’ve built an advisor ecosystem to match.

You’ll join a community of financial advisors working within an interconnected system to deliver great advice and experiences to clients.

It's designed to meet you where you are and evolve with you, supporting your growth as you pursue both your income goals and your calling to serve others.

Choose the path that fits you best

Whether you're drawn to running your own business or prefer contributing within a team-based structure, our ecosystem offers multiple affiliation models – each providing a distinct career pathway tailored to your experience and aspirations:

1. Build your own practice

2. Join an established team

3. Become part of the Virtual Advice Team

While they differ in structure and day-to-day experience, they all offer:

• A supportive, inclusive culture focused on community impact.

• Personalized development and leadership opportunities.

• Income potential aligned to your goals – stability, scalability or autonomy.

• Purpose-driven work rooted in faith and values-based financial guidance.

Your business starts with you. Be an entrepreneur generating your own leads, building your network and creating a brand that connects with your community.

For driven self-starters, the opportunity can be as rewarding as it is expansive.

• Ideal for: Strategic, people-focused leaders with experience in sales, business or service roles.

Modern tools, real connections and team-driven success – without the pressure of prospecting or building a book of business.

Our focus is on hiring new candidates to hub locations in Atlanta, Dallas, Minneapolis, Denver and Milwaukee, where you’ll have hybrid flexibility to work remotely part of the week and in the office alongside your colleagues other days.
