Recruiting Lead

About Arca

Arca is a pioneering wealth management firm headquartered in New York City, reinventing the domain using artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional financial advisory services that are reactive and impersonal, Arca aims to provide a highly personalized, continuously adaptive advisory experience, empowering advisors with advanced AI tools to anticipate client needs and provide context-rich support. The company has acquired significant assets and firms, demonstrating real-world financial results, and has ambitious plans to disrupt a massive $20 trillion market.

Backing the venture are prominent investors with substantial funding of $64 million raised in Series A, guided by experienced board members and advisors from renowned financial and startup backgrounds.

The Arca team is purposefully compact, consisting primarily of talented individuals drawn from leading technology firms. While based in a fully in-office setting in NYC's Flatiron district, this role uniquely offers remote work flexibility.
